I don't think it's quite that bad: the patch doesn't touch scan/join
planning very much, so for instance I doubt that the pending unique-joins
patch is completely broken.  But yeah, anything having anything to do
with planning of grouping/aggregation or later stages is going to need
major revision to play with this.
