That's a bit confusing. "it" looks like must have been intended to
reference constraint exclusion, but since partition pruning was
mentioned afterwards, then it makes more sense to apply it to that.
Maybe it would be more clear to write:
Constraint exclusion is only applied during query planning; unlike
partition pruning which can also be applied during query execution.
Small patch doing it that way is attached.
