You don't have any many-to-many relationships? Or any queries that use EXISTS
with indexable where clauses? Both of those are typical use cases for this
path.
In any case I think this type of scenario is more likely to be attacked via
some sort of "index organized table". But even that's not on the horizon right
now.
