Right now, I am having trouble getting the planner to optimize queries
in the form of

The subplan (either index or seq. scan) executes once for each row in t,

Merlin,
select t.key, t.field from t a
where
(
select count(*) from t b
where b.field a.field
) = k
The subplan (either index or seq. scan) executes once for each row in t,
which of course takes forever.
This query is a way of achieving LIMIT type results
