+If given an arrayref, pretends it was given a hashref with the first
+element of the arrayref as the value for 'to' and the remaining pairs copied.
+
+Given a hashref, the 'as' key is if presented expanded to wrap the 'to'.
+
+If present the 'using' key is expanded as a list of idents.
+
+Known keys are: 'from' (the left hand side), 'type' ('left', 'right', or
+nothing), 'to' (the right hand side), 'on' and 'using'.
