Review Comment:
   > @berkaysynnada do you think this is the right information to pass down? Or 
is there a world where it makes sense to pass down some sort of "equivalence" 
information?

   When we are registering the sources, we can provide multiple orderings if 
the table supports them. However, the requirements are singular, and I don't 
think there would be any meaning in ordering the table for both `col_a` and 
`col_b` simultaneously. So, I've always thought that requirements need only one 
ordering, but specs should be capable of having multiple orderings. So there 
isn't any obvious advantage of using equivalences here, IMO
