> The fused operator sel+ (select positive values) is applied for patterns like
> (X>0)*X and max(X,0) in order to eliminate unnecessary intermediates. It
> stems from a time when max was sparse-unsafe and hence inefficient over
> sparse data. However, meanwhile we mark scalar operators as conditionally
> sparse-safe depending on the given scalar constant c, which applies for max
> if c<=0. Hence, this sel+ operator is meanwhile completely useless and should
> be removed.
> Furthermore, we should also generalize the rewrites to rewrite the selection
> of negative values (X<0)*X to min(X,0)
