I do not think I follow. Me and some other people here would ideally
allow CTEs to be inlined by default. Some people today use CTEs as
optimization fences, to for example control join order, and the
suggestion here is to add new syntax for CTEs to allow them to
selectively be used as optimization fences.

You mean OFFSET 0? I have never been a fan of using it as an
optimization fence. I do not think OFFSET 0 conveys clearly enough to
the reader that is is an optimization fence.
