I've tested patch6 against recent head. The patch applies with no problems.

The previous case (filter on top of i-o-s) is fixed. Great work.


However, it looks there are issues when accessing non-indexed columns.
The error is "ERROR: variable not found in subplan target list"
The case is 02_case2_fails.sql (see the gist link above)

The essence of the case is "create index on substr(vc, 1, 128)"
and assume that majority of the rows have length(vc)<128.
Under that conditions, it would be nice to do index-only-scan
and filter (like in my previous case), but detect "long" rows
and do additional recheck for them.
