Connect to the backend with a debugger such as gdb and step through the
code and you will find it. Alternatively, have a better look at the code.
The function called is that returned by get_oprjoin(). This looks up the
operator (ie, '=', '<') in pg_operator and gets the function from there.
For example, '=' is eqjoinsel() from memory.
