Hm.  What's happening here is that you get an equivalence class
containing logdate, test.b, and '2006-02-02', where test.b is actually
a Param supplied from the outer query level.  So the equivclass.c
machinery considers that both test.b and '2006-02-02' are constants,
and it just picks the first one to construct derived equalities from.
So what comes out is "test.b = logdate and test.b = '2006-02-02'", and
neither of those can be used by the constraint-exclusion machinery to
prove that some partitions of "measurement" can be skipped.

What we need is to teach generate_base_implied_equalities_const() to
prefer an actual constant to pseudo-constants.  Will fix, thanks for the
example!
