    That's a great point. Currently R is the same as Python in that when 
`joinExpr` is `NULL` (R) or `on` is `None` (Python), CrossJoin is assumed. 
(Python 
[here](https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/15493/files#diff-6fc344560230bf0ef711bb9b5573f1faR650))
    
    Problem is by default `joinExpr = NULL` (R) and `on = None` (Python) - one 
approach is to change both defaults, so that when omitted, they don't default 
to CrossJoin.
    Another approach is to additional ask for `joinType` or `how` of a new 
`cross_join` - but this could be a bigger change.
