Have you actually confirmed that there are any cases where
isnull(expression) yields a different result than (expression) is
null when the expression gives the same value? I'm suspicious that
an expression could be yielding a different result, perhaps based
on join conditions handling comparisons between null values
differently. Remember, for example, that in PostgreSQL NULL = NULL
does not evaluate to TRUE.
