I think you've misunderstood what's been changed here. Unfortunately,
it's not even true with a bit of eye squinting as these changes have
nothing to do with partition pruning. I think it would be much more
informative to state it as I suggested. Also, the spelling of
"efficiently" needs adjusted.

At the very least, you'd need to swap "planning" for "execution" as
the above statement isn't true.
