+ *
+ * The idea here is that given a query like
+ * SELECT ... FROM a LEFT JOIN b ON (...) WHERE b.y = 42;
+ * we can reduce the LEFT JOIN to a plain JOIN if the "=" operator in WHERE
+ * is strict. The strict operator will always return NULL, causing the outer
+ * WHERE to fail, on any row where the LEFT JOIN filled in NULLs for b's
+ * columns. Therefore, there's no need for the join to produce null-extended
+ * rows in the first place --- which makes it a plain join not an outer join.
+ * (This scenario may not be very likely in a query written out by hand, but
+ * it's reasonably likely when pushing quals down into complex views.)
+ *
+ * More generally, an outer join can be reduced in strength if there is a
+ * strict qual above it in the qual tree that constrains a Var from the
+ * nullable side of the join to be non-null. (For FULL joins this applies
+ * to each side separately.)
