Um ... I don't see any difference in the clause ordering from 8.2
forward.  "SELECT * FROM baz<TAB>" produces a query like this in 8.2:

LOG:  statement: SELECT pg_catalog.quote_ident(c.relname) FROM 
pg_catalog.pg_class c WHERE c.relkind IN ('r', 'S', 'v') AND 
substring(pg_catalog.quote_ident(c.relname),1,3)='baz' AND 
pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid) AND c.relnamespace <> (SELECT oid FROM 
pg_catalog.pg_namespace WHERE nspname = 'pg_catalog')
        UNION
        SELECT pg_catalog.quote_ident(n.nspname) || '.' FROM 
pg_catalog.pg_namespace n WHERE substring(pg_catalog.quote_ident(n.nspname) || 
'.',1,3)='baz' AND (SELECT pg_catalog.count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace 
WHERE substring(pg_catalog.quote_ident(nspname) || '.',1,3) = 
substring('baz',1,pg_catalog.length(pg_catalog.quote_ident(nspname))+1)) > 1
        UNION
        SELECT pg_catalog.quote_ident(n.nspname) || '.' || 
pg_catalog.quote_ident(c.relname) FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c, 
pg_catalog.pg_namespace n WHERE c.relnamespace = n.oid AND c.relkind IN ('r', 
'S', 'v') AND substring(pg_catalog.quote_ident(n.nspname) || '.' || 
pg_catalog.quote_ident(c.relname),1,3)='baz' AND 
substring(pg_catalog.quote_ident(n.nspname) || '.',1,3) = 
substring('baz',1,pg_catalog.length(pg_catalog.quote_ident(n.nspname))+1) AND 
(SELECT pg_catalog.count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace WHERE 
substring(pg_catalog.quote_ident(nspname) || '.',1,3) = 
substring('baz',1,pg_catalog.length(pg_catalog.quote_ident(nspname))+1)) = 1
        LIMIT 1000

and the only difference in HEAD is another relkind in the IN clauses.

                        regards, tom lane
