Just a follow-up (mostly to myself): I've been toying with using  
natural joins recently, and here's the same query rewritten to use a  
natural join:

select id as t1_id, t2_id
from test t1
natural join (    select id as t2_id        , a as b        , b as a    from test    ) t2
where id < t2_id;
t1_id | t2_id
-------+-------     4 |     7     1 |     2
(2 rows)
