I've tested this under 7.3, and it works beautifully for the cases I've built over the last 2 days. I can no longer bugger a plan up mearly by reordering the WHERE clauses. Note that 2 of the five parts won't patch in (involving constantqual). Looks to be code refactoring between here and planmain.

If we are going to go for a beta6, I vote we reverse out the patch. Of course, I prefer neither. Do we have to do a delay/feature analysis on this? Marc, there will always be 7.3.1 to fix any problems. They will surely happen so I think it is safe to push forward for tomorrow's RC1. Of course
