It does Just Work ... in CVS tip. I can't make it magically work in
7.3 --- at least not without back-patching a lot of stuff that hasn't
been through beta-testing yet.
The problem is that mergejoin in existing releases will only work on
plain "Var = Var" clauses. Your domain case doesn't look like that
because of the runtime cast operators.
