/**
* Represents a value that can be joined to. Any column that a user
* joins to must be "owned" by an entity that implements this interface.
* The system maps columns to joinables to be able to decompose oids and
* field values into individual join values on a per-column basis. This
* allows us to support joins to only some of the columns of a mapping, and
* to be loose with the ordering of foreign key columns relative to the
* ordering of the joined-to columns. Having a separate interface for
* joinables also allows us to perform tricks such as a vertically-mapped
* application identity subclass transparently transforming columns of its
* foreign key to the corresponding primary key fields in the base class.
