Hi [~dcapwell] , just a gentle follow-up on this PR.

> Noticed it’s not compliant with the SQL specification for BETWEEN and so
> doesn’t match what other databases do (tested on Postgres and MySQL).
> Here is the [SQL 92
> spec|https://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt] (later
> versions probably don't change something so fundamental).
> In particular rule 6 doesn't match the observed behavior which is to swap Y
> and Z and then return what is in between them which is pretty surprising as a
> result.
> {noformat}
> 6) "X BETWEEN Y AND Z" is equivalent to "X>=Y AND X<=Z".

> 8.3 <between predicate>
> Function
> Specify a range comparison.
> Format
> <between predicate> ::=
> <row value constructor> [ NOT ] BETWEEN
> <row value constructor> AND <row value constructor>
> Syntax Rules
> 1) The three <row value constructor>s shall be of the same degree.
> 2) Let respective values be values with the same ordinal position
> in the two <row value constructor>s.
> 3) The data types of the respective values of the three <row value
> constructor>s shall be comparable.
> 4) Let X, Y, and Z be the first, second, and third <row value con-
> structor>s, respectively.
> 5) "X NOT BETWEEN Y AND Z" is equivalent to "NOT ( X BETWEEN Y AND
> Z )".
> 6) "X BETWEEN Y AND Z" is equivalent to "X>=Y AND X<=Z".
