+1 for the Wiki page
I started looking at the set of patches and started with v3-0001.
For that one, I think we need to refactor a bit more for
maintainability/readability.
queryjumblefuncs.c now has dual purposes which is the generic node jumbling
code and now it also has the specific query jumbling code. That seems wrong
from a readability/maintainability perspective.
Here are my high-level thoughts on this:
1. rename queryjumblefuncs.c to jumblefuncs.c
2. move the query jumbling related code to parser/analyze.c,
since query jumbling occurs there during parsing.
3. Rewrite the comments in the new jumblefuncs.c to
make it clear the intention of this infrastructure; that
it is used to jumble nodes for query or plan trees.
I can work on this if you agree.
