Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-5505:
---------------------------------------------

I'll note that imo this is not very useful in the current state of CQL and 
hence, imo, not worth adding the complexity.

And I think this is not very useful because in pretty much any place we could 
easily support this currently, you can pretty much do your basic arithmetic 
client side. _If_ we were to support things like
{{noformat}}
SELECT * FROM t WHERE c1 = c2 + 1;
{{noformat}}
then yes, this will be a nice to have, but we don't support that kind of 
condition between 2 columns and while we will likely add it in the future, this 
is out of scope for this issue.

So I'm personally in favor of closing this as "later".
