I think it's actually pretty different. All of the other enable_* GUCs
disable an entire type of plan node, except for cases where that would
otherwise result in planning failure. This just disables a portion of
the planning logic for a certain kind of node, without actually
disabling the whole node type. I'm not sure that's a bad idea, but it
definitely seems to be inconsistent with what we've done in the past.
