   ### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
   
   Here is [DuckDB's 
documentation](https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/query_syntax/from.html#lateral-joins).
   
   The first example given in the above DuckDB documentation is
   ```sql
   SELECT *
   FROM range(3) t(i), LATERAL (SELECT i + 1) t2(j);
   ```
   
   Which gives
   | **i**  | **j** |
   | ------------- | ------------- |
   | 0 | 1  |
   | 2  | 3  |
   | 1  | 2  |
   
   
   If I try the same in datafusion-cli 37.0:
   ```sql
   SELECT * FROM unnest(range(3)) t(i), LATERAL (SELECT i + 1) t2(j);
   ```
   (Note that I had to wrap `range(3)` in a `unnest`, as Datafusion does not 
yet have a `range` table function.)
   
   This gives
   `Schema error: No field named i.`
   
   I would have expected that Datafusion would let `(SELECT i + 1) t2(j)` refer 
to `i` from the first table.
   
   ### Describe the solution you'd like
   
   Support for lateral joins.
   
   DuckDB mentions that the `LATERAL` keyword is optional.
   The first implementation in Datafusion would not need this.
   
   ### Describe alternatives you've considered
   
   _No response_
   
   ### Additional context
