* analyzejoins.c
* Routines for simplifying joins after initial query analysis
*
* While we do a great deal of join simplification in prep/prepjointree.c,
* certain optimizations cannot be performed at that stage for lack of
* detailed information about the query. The routines here are invoked
* after initsplan.c has done its work, and can do additional join removal
* and simplification steps based on the information extracted. The penalty
* is that we have to work harder to clean up after ourselves when we modify
* the query, since the derived data structures have to be updated too.
