Well, yeah. Even those most ostensibly opposed to hints have been
known to post that they would rather not have the optimizer
recognize two logically

I was thinking more:
JOIN foo_tab USING (foo_id) WITH (COST=50)
or something, to exploit the hooks that already exist for functions, for
example. But it's still an interesting

The problem I have with that syntax is that it would be hard to read
when you have some nested set of joins or a (SELECT) in the JOIN
instead of simple table name. For me, at least, it

someone who was so resistent to doing the right things for such a
conversion.
