Unfortunately, we don't optimize the former nearly as well as the latter
:-(. I was thinking of showing an example of a multi-column IN:
where (firstname,lastname) in (values ('joe','blow'), ('anne','smith'), ...
but I don't think we want to encourage people to use it in cases where
a scalar list or ANY(ARRAY) will serve. Maybe next year ;-)
