I did that for the built-in btree opclasses. I decided that it's probably
not worth forcing an initdb in v11 for, though. In principle, losing
selectivity estimates because of non-leakproof functions should only
happen in queries that are going to fail at runtime anyway. The real
problem that ought to be addressed and perhaps back-patched is this:
