|The following caveats apply to constraint exclusion:
|    Constraint exclusion only works when the query's WHERE clause contains
|    constants (or externally supplied parameters). For example, a comparison
|    against a non-immutable function such as CURRENT_TIMESTAMP cannot be
|    optimized, since the planner cannot know which partition the function value
