Hi,
I passed through the patches with fresh sight. Conceptually, this 
approach looks much better than the previous series.
Just for the record: previously, we attempted to resolve two issues in 
one - improve the execution plan and save cycles during the 
optimisation. As I see it, it is almost impossible in this feature. So, 
I should come to terms with carrying long OR lists through the planning 
and the additional overhead this feature generates.
I also see that the optimiser has obtained additional planning 
strategies with these patches and hasn't lost any.

Couple of findings:

First:
/* Only operator clauses scan match */
Should it be:
/* Only operator clauses can match */
?
The second one:
When creating IndexClause, we assign the original and derived clauses to 
the new, containing transformed array. But logically, we should set the 
clause with a list of ORs as the original. Why did you do so?
