If my opinion wasn't clear, I was suggesting adding a WARNING and not doing 
anything about flattening.   I can't say that, in 5 years of developing 
applications in Postgres, that this has ever been a problem for me personally 
-- from my perspective the persons reporting the issue needs to re-code their 
query, it's not what sequences were meant for.
