Sorry about that.

I haven't had much practice with English. Sometimes, things I wouldn't
normally say in technical discussions in my native language come out
here. As well as part of the meaning definitely lost in translation.
The actual reason was to highlight that quite closely related features
exist in the Postgres world (not only pg_hint_plan). Even if we can’t
expose the code of enterprise forks, it worth to discuss alternative
design ideas.
