Hmmm... CE seems to be still not enough to optimize complex expressions.
If I added the wrapper function, it worked.

CREATE FUNCTION timeadd(timestamptz, interval) RETURNS timestamptz   AS $$ SELECT $1 + $2; $$ LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE;

SELECT * FROM test_bulletins WHERE created_at >   timeadd('2006-09-09 05:00:00+00', '0 days');


I noticed that we should be careful about CE with prepared statements
and functions. Seamless partitioning requires more works.
