Huh, that is an interesting project indeed.  Although I'm not sure that
it quite addresses the question of whether an optimization transform
is valid.  IIUC, it could prove that a particular query having been fed
through the transform didn't change semantics, but that offers only
limited insight into whether some other query fed through the transform
might change.
