Allow expressions/constants in join predicates about google-bigquery

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Agreed, this behavior is less than ideal.  I'll look in to what we can do about 
this, but adding this feature will likely be a few months out, at least.  I 
would recommend continuing to use the workaround for the time being.  Thanks 
for the request!

It's still something we'd like to add, but it's low priority, and we don't have 
an ETA right now.

Is this an issue of convenience (i.e., not having to write the subquery), or is 
this a more significant blocker for you?

It is not a significant block.  My workaround was to do add an expression 
inside a subquery.

Same status as #4.

Is this still low priority for the team? Because for me, the restriction on 
join conditions to simple field equalities is the single most frustrating 
aspect of BigQuery.

Update: Priority of this feature has been raised, and implementation work is 
under way. Current plan is to target it with next BigQuery release.

I also have a few queries for which this functionality would be very useful! 
Hope it's coming soon.

Duplicating against the SQL dialect bug.
