Is your solution going to be to make sure the OUTER table is always a
MergeJoin, or on the outside of a join loop? That could work.
That could get tricky if the table is joined to _two_ other tables.
With the cleaned-up optimizer, we can disable non-merge joins in certain
circumstances, and prevent OUTER tables from being inner in the others.
Is that the plan?
