Wouldn't it be better if it just did the right thing automatically?
The sort of heuristic I'm envisioning would essentially do "replan every
time" for some number of executions, and give up only if it noticed that
it wasn't getting anything better than the generic plan. So you'd have
a fixed maximum overhead per session when the custom plan was useless,
and the Right Thing when it wasn't.
