It would be even more interesting if it could be an index-only scan as
a result of the transformation. For example, we could use an
index-only scan with this query (once your patch was in place):
"SELECT thousand, tenthous FROM tenk1 WHERE thousand = 42 AND
(tenthous = 1 OR tenthous = 3 OR tenthous = 42)"
Index-only scans were the original motivation for adding native
ScalarArrayExprOp support to nbtree (in 2011 commit 9e8da0f7), in
fact.
As I suggested earlier, I suspect that there is too much planner logic
that targets BitmapOrs specifically -- maybe even selectivity
estimation/restrictinfo stuff.
PS I wonder if the correctness issues that you saw could be related to
eval_const_expressions(), since "the planner assumes that this
[eval_const_expressions] will always flatten nested AND and OR clauses
into N-argument form". See its subroutines simplify_or_arguments() and
simplify_and_arguments().
