I'm not in favor of a GUC for this; we should either do it or not.
me neither, the idea came because seems there wasn't enough
consensus... my opinion always was we have to return right results and
then think on performance...
if someone cares, this is the patch i use for avoiding pulling up of
subqueries containing volatile functions (at least it has worked for
me :)...
