I really haven't read up much on the constraint exclusion feature, but
this description in guc.c really doesn't want to make me use it. :)

"This prevents table access if the table constraints guarantee that
table access is necessary."

This is a typo, right?

One hopes ;-). I was planning to make an editorial pass over those doc
additions anyway ... will definitely get it done now. Or are you doing
that already?
