Oh, I see: in the original formulation the planner can push the "WHERE
dl.lex IS NOT NULL" clause down into the sorted subquery, and what with
one thing and another that clause ends up getting evaluated first in the
scan filter condition. We could prevent that by increasing ts_lexize's
procost from 1 to 2 (or so), which might be a a good thing anyway since
I suppose it's not especially cheap. It's still a klugy solution
though.
I think Teodor's solution is wrong as it stands, because if the subquery
finds matches for mapcfg and maptokentype, but none of those rows
produce a non-null ts_lexize result, it will instead emit one row with a
null result, which is not what should happen.
