So for each row, it has to check all CHECK constraints to see if it has
enough rows? That sounds fairly inefficient.

I wonder if the planner could copy the limit down through the Append, though
-- it certainly doesn't need more than one row from each partition. It sounds
slightly cumbersome to try to plan such a thing, though...
