That's correct, and addresses Dominique's point, albeit obliquely:
to use a row-value as a list-argument to IN would be to confuse rows
and columns.  A row-value has 1 or more columns, but only one row.

It would be nice to use row-values correctly in IN:

        select * from T where (a,b) IN ( (1, 'a'), (2, 'b') )

Is that valid?
