Only if the periods of the SRFs are relatively prime. That is, neither of
his examples demonstrate the full weirdness of the current behavior; for
that, you need periods that are multiples of each other. For instance:
SELECT generate_series(1, 2), generate_series(1, 4);
generate_series | generate_series
-----------------+-----------------
1 | 1
2 | 2
1 | 3
2 | 4
(4 rows)
That doesn't comport with any behavior available from LATERAL.
