The problem is that we have created a view that by itself a very
time-consuming query to answer, relying on it being incorporated into a
query that will constrain it and cause it to be evaluated a lot quicker.
This kind of scenario kind of guarantees a bad plan as soon as the number
of tables reaches from_collapse_limit.
