Ah, that's not what I meant to say. You're talking about bag vs set semantics. Prela implements bag semantics just like SQL.
That sentence should say "a binary relation can map an input to multiple different outputs", and that's not a bad thing. It's exactly how binary relations generalize functions, and we want that because that lets us compose binary relations like how we compose functions!
