commit e554c9e00a14d01fa5e29367d6820d59fee7b69b
Author: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

    Teach the planner to cope with Vars bearing nullingrels.
    
    The core idea of this step is to include varnullingrels in the
    relid sets that qual clauses are considered to depend on.
    So that we can still easily compare quals' relids to RelOptInfos'
    relids, that means also adding outer join relids to the identifying
    relids of join relations.  Much of the bulk of this step is concerned
    with fallout from the latter change.
    
    Also, in setrefs.c and some other places, we have to intentionally
    ignore varnullingrels when comparing the outputs of a lower plan
    node to the Vars required by upper expressions.  I'd like to tighten
    that up, by accounting for whether a given plan node implements
    an outer join and expecting the upper Vars to have that OJ relid
    added to their varnullingrels if so.  But because of the hackery
    involved in implementing outer join identity 3, there are some cases
    where the upper Var legitimately won't have that bit set, and it's
    unclear how to make a check that doesn't reject such plans.  So that
    issue is left for later.  It would only be a bug-detection aid
    anyway, since all the interesting decisions have been made already.
    
    This step removes some low-hanging fruit from the old implementation,
    such as the need to track lowest_nulling_outer_join during subquery
    pullup.  There's much more to do in that line, though.
    
    The result of this step passes most core regression tests, but there
    are still some failure cases involving full joins.
