That really should've been written as:
SELECT
a.tid AS is_redundant,
b.tid AS contained_by
FROM togo a INNER JOIN togo b ON (a.tid <> b.tid)
GROUP BY a.tid, b.tid
HAVING
EVERY(EXISTS(
SELECT 1 FROM togo x WHERE x.tid = b.tid AND x.item = a.item
));
... but I'm a bit of an idiot, and couldn't figure out why the
EVERY(EXISTS(subq)) wasn't working when testing it before.
Sorry for all the noise.
