Review Comment:
   I think @Xuanwo proposed to implement Snowflake syntax (with 
`match_condition` keyword)
   https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/constructs/asof-join
   
   Personally I also think Snowflake syntax is better than the DuckDB syntax
   
   ```
   -- DuckDB synatx
   SELECT t.*, p.price
   FROM trades t
   ASOF JOIN prices p
   ON t.symbol = p.symbol AND t.when >= p.when;
   
   -- Snowflake syntax
   SELECT t.*, p.price
   FROM trades t
   ASOF JOIN prices p
   MATCH_CONDITION t.when >= p.when
   ON t.symbol = p.symbol;
   ```
   
   The reason is the in-equality predicate has different semantical meaning:
   - equal condition: pre-filter all pairs before the ASOF join step
   - in-equality condition: for all satisfied `prices` table rows, only return 
the closest match
   
   Separating them is more intuitive given the special semantics of ASOF joins.
   
   The downside is that we informally use DuckDB as our primary reference 
system, so following Snowflake here might depart from that convention.
