BTW, the fallacy in this idea is that the planner pushes WHERE clauses
as far down the plan tree as it can. EXPLAIN would show you the actual
plan tree, but it's probably along the lines of
Join using u.user_id = ud.user_id
Scan users u where u.type = 1
Scan userdata ud where ud.data::text::date < now();
If we did not do this, it would pretty much cripple the performance
of queries involving views (since a view is nothing but a macro for a
sub-select).
