Check if two values are equal or positioned close to each other.
A ProximityExpr can either be an EqualityExpr
using the equality operators = and != or the contains
operator ~= or it can use the operators adj and
near. The operator adj is used to locate adjacent
values that are in the exact order as specified with the adj
operator. The operator near is used to locate adjacent values
irrespective of exact order. The adj and near
operators can only be used on the right side of an expression with the contains
operator.
There is no ProximityExpr in XPath.
