If James agrees, I suggest to remove all of the cost based optimizer code
(which would fix both of the current issues), because:

- CBO violates POSIX regarding strict the left-to-right processing rule.

- Apparently no one ever measured whether this optimization really
  has any benefit, i.e., positive (or negative?) effect on performance.

- CBO code is hard to maintain; ~1200-1500 lines of code could be removed.

- Removing CBO would also solve a couple of other open issue we have in
  our bug tracker.

@James: do you agree?
Maybe we could work together on this ... as you have the better insight.

Have a nice day,
