I bet it does not *really* look like that, but has a parameterized
WHERE clause. As per the fine manual:
Constraint exclusion only works when the query's WHERE clause
contains constants. A parameterized query will not be optimized,
since the planner cannot know which partitions the parameter value
might select at run time. For the same reason, "stable" functions
such as CURRENT_DATE must be avoided.
