The dividing line is the number of opcode need to implement the
computation.  If the number is 1, then the computation is "simple".
Two are more opcodes and the computation is "complex".

The query planner factors all but the very last opcode or the
expression out of the inner loop.  The very last opcode of the
expression is retained in the inner loop in order to refresh the
result.
