Yeah, maybe this is the reason I failed to devise a query that shows any
performance gain. I tried with a query which makes the 'all_pathkeys'
in sort_inner_and_outer being length of 500 and still cannot see any
notable performance improvements gained by list_copy_move_nth_to_head.
Maybe the cost of other parts of planning swamps the performance gain
here? Now I agree that maybe 0002 is not worthwhile to do.

Thanks
