* getting it right seems nontrivial. Work on this later.)

* 2. If the subquery has a LIMIT clause or a DISTINCT ON clause, we must
* not push down any quals, since that could change the set of rows
* returned. (Actually, we could push down quals into a DISTINCT ON
* subquery if they refer only to DISTINCT-ed output columns, but
* checking that seems more work than it's worth. In any case, a
* plain DISTINCT is safe to push down past.)
*
* 3. If the subquery has any functions returning sets in its target list,
* we do not push down any quals, since the quals
* might refer to those tlist items, which would mean we'd introduce
* functions-returning-sets into the subquery's WHERE/HAVING quals.
* (It'd be sufficient to not push down quals that refer to those
* particular tlist items, but that's much clumsier to check.)

/*****************************************************************************
* PUSHING QUALS DOWN INTO SUBQUERIES
*****************************************************************************/
/*
* subquery_is_pushdown_safe - is a subquery safe for pushing down quals?
*
* subquery is the particular component query being checked. topquery
* is the top component of a set-operations tree (the same Query if no
* set-op is involved).
*
* Conditions checked here:
*
* 1. If the subquery has a LIMIT clause or a DISTINCT ON clause, we must
* not push down any quals, since that could change the set of rows
* returned. (Actually, we could push down quals into a DISTINCT ON
* subquery if they refer only to DISTINCT-ed output columns, but
* checking that seems more work than it's worth. In any case, a
* plain DISTINCT is safe to push down past.)
*
* 2. If the subquery has any functions returning sets in its target list,
* we do not push down any quals, since the quals
* might refer to those tlist items, which would mean we'd introduce
* functions-returning-sets into the subquery's WHERE/HAVING quals.
* (It'd be sufficient to not push down quals that refer to those
* particular tlist items, but that's much clumsier to check.)
*
* 3. If the subquery contains EXCEPT or EXCEPT ALL set ops we cannot push
* quals into it, because that would change the results. For subqueries
* using UNION/UNION ALL/INTERSECT/INTERSECT ALL, we can push the quals
* into each component query, so long as all the component queries share
* identical output types. (That restriction could probably be relaxed,
* but it would take much more code to include type coercion code into
* the quals, and I'm also concerned about possible semantic gotchas.)
