Add:
* Allow star join optimizations
While our bitmap scan allows multiple indexes to be joined to get
to heap rows, a star joins allows multiple dimension _tables_ to
be joined to index into a larger main fact table. The join is
usually performed by either creating a cartesian product of all
the dimmension tables and doing a single join on that product or
using subselects to create bitmaps of each dimmension table match
and merge the bitmaps to perform the join on the fact table.
