   I'm still trying to page this state machine back into memory since it's been 
a few months. My first pass mostly makes me wonder about a performance 
optimization:
   
   I think the `EmitReady { next_state: Box<SortMergeJoinState> }` adds a heap 
allocation on every group boundary. But looking at the current code, the only 
`next_state` ever used is `Init`. Could we add the completed-batch flush 
directly in the `scanning_finished()` branch?
   ```rust
   if self.buffered_data.scanning_finished() {
       self.buffered_data.scanning_reset();
       // Flush any completed batch before going to Init
       if !needs_deferred_filtering(...) {
           if self.joined_record_batches.joined_batches.has_completed_batch() {
               // return it
           }
       }
       self.state = SortMergeJoinState::Init;
   }
   ```
