NOT operator not equivalent to NOT EXISTS
According to the documentation:
NOT X relation Y is equivalent to NOT EXISTS(X relation Y)
But while testing the requests Any X WHERE X is City, NOT (X eid 840) and Any X WHERE X is City, NOT EXISTS(X eid 840) on the tuto cube, I find different results. The first request gives the right result, but the second gives the opposite (only eid 840).
Here is the debug output for each request:
>>> rql('Any X WHERE X is City, NOT (X eid 840)')
