Hmm, do we really have any places that include OUTER_VAR etc in
bitmapsets? They shouldn't appear in relid sets, for sure.
I agree though that if they did, this would have bad performance
consequences.

I still think the negative-special-values approach is better.
If there are any places that that would break, we'd find out about
it in short order, rather than having a silent performance lossage.
