I think what Jeff was actually suggesting was that we commit the
proposed added HINT.  I didn't like the hint patch at all --- as given,
the hint would be emitted in a lot of cases where it'd be irrelevant and
just plain distracting --- but it might be possible to develop an
improved version that would be committable in the 9.1 timeframe.

I think there might be something related there already, but if not,
feel free to add it.
