/// `EquivalenceProperties` stores information about the output of a plan node
/// that can be used to optimize the plan. Currently, it keeps track of:
/// - Sort expressions (orderings),
/// - Equivalent expressions; i.e. expressions known to have the same value.
/// - Constants expressions; i.e. expressions known to contain a single constant
///   value.
///
/// Please see the [Using Ordering for Better Plans] blog for more details.

/// # Example equivalent sort expressions
///
/// Consider table below:
///
/// ```text
/// ┌-------┐
/// | a | b |
/// |---|---|
/// | 1 | 9 |
/// | 2 | 8 |
/// | 3 | 7 |
/// | 5 | 5 |
/// └---┴---┘
/// ```
///
/// In this case, both `a ASC` and `b DESC` can describe the table ordering.
/// `EquivalenceProperties` tracks these different valid sort expressions and
/// treat `a ASC` and `b DESC` on an equal footing. For example, if the query
/// specifies the output sorted by EITHER `a ASC` or `b DESC`, the sort can be
/// avoided.
///
/// # Example equivalent expressions
///
/// Similarly, consider the table below:
///
/// ```text
/// ┌-------┐
/// | a | b |
/// |---|---|
/// | 1 | 1 |
/// | 2 | 2 |
/// | 3 | 3 |
/// | 5 | 5 |
/// └---┴---┘
/// ```
///
/// In this case,  columns `a` and `b` always have the same value. With this
/// information, Datafusion can optimize various operations. For example, if
/// the partition requirement is `Hash(a)` and output partitioning is
/// `Hash(b)`, then DataFusion avoids repartitioning the data as the existing
/// partitioning satisfies the requirement.
///

///   node directly matches with the sort expression. If there is a match, the
///   sort expression emerges at that node immediately, discarding the recursive
///   result coming from its children.
///

/// - If it is a `Literal` node, we set the range as a point value. If it is a
