Hi.
I've updated patch. One more interesting case which we found - when
fractional path is selected, it still can be more expensive than sorted
cheapest total path (as we look only on indexes whith necessary
pathkeys, not on indexes which allow efficiently fetch data).
So far couldn't find artificial example, but we've seen inadequate index
selection due to this issue - instead of using index suited for filters
in where, index, suitable for sorting was selected as one having the
cheapest fractional cost.
