Not today, I don't believe (haven't looked at the code though, to be
fair), and seems like it'd be an awful lot of work for a rare
use-case that would be better with just a partial index..

What we will do today is if you ask for a specific value and there's a
CHECK constraint which lists out specific values and that value isn't
among the set, then we'll just skip over the table (One-time filter:
false), thanks to constraint exclusion.

Thanks!

Stephen
