In a plain SELECT, yes. In a DECLARE CURSOR, it's currently set up
to prefer indexscans anyway, LIMIT or no LIMIT (see lines 853 ff in
src/backend/optimizer/plan/planner.c, current sources). I think it
makes sense to have that preference for DECLARE, and what I'm wondering
is if we need an additional preference when the DECLARE contains a LIMIT
clause --- and if so, what should that be?
