view selection during query rewrite

Suppose I have the following query and a view v1 defined as follows:
*Q1: SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Table1.col1 = 5 and Table1.col2 LIKE
'%abc%';*
*create view v1 as select * from Table1 where Table1.col1 = 5;*

An effective way to execute Q1 would be to re-write it as: *select * from
v1 where col2 LIKE '%abc%';* provided that the selection predicates are
highly selective and also if it is cheaper in execution time of the query.

However I see that postgres does not automatically perform query rewriting
using view. I have looked at the plan using explain (analyze) and I see
that Q1 is always executed using the base tables unless I explicitly
mention the view in the query instead of the base table.

Is there a way to enforce automatic view selection in postgres or is it up
to the user to write the query optimally?
