I agreed with the changes. Thank you for your work.

I updated patch and added you to the authors.

I specified Ranier Vilela as a reviewer.

Is a good habit when post a new version of the patch, name it v1, v2, v3,etc.

Makes it easy to follow development and references on the thread.

Sorry, I fixed it.

Regarding the last patch.

1. I think that variable const_is_left is not necessary.

You can stick with:

+ if (IsA(get_leftop(orqual), Const))
+ nconst_expr =get_rightop(orqual);

+ const_expr = get_leftop(orqual) ;

+ else if (IsA(get_rightop(orqual), Const))

+ nconst_expr =get_leftop(orqual);

+ const_expr = get_rightop(orqual) ;

+ else
+ {
+ or_list = lappend(or_list, orqual);
+ continue;
+ }

Agreed.

2. Test scalar_type != RECORDOID is more cheaper,

mainly if OidIsValid were a function, we knows that is a macro.

+ if (scalar_type != RECORDOID && OidIsValid(scalar_type))

Is it safe? Maybe we should first make sure that it can be checked on RECORDOID at all?

3. Sorry about wrong tip about array_type, but if really necessary,

better use it.

+ newa->element_typeid = scalar_type;
+ newa->array_typeid = array_type;

Agreed.

4. Is a good habit, call free last, to avoid somebody accidentally using it.

+ or_list = lappend(or_list, gentry->expr);
+ list_free(gentry->consts);
+ continue;

No, this is not necessary, because we add the original expression in these places to the resulting list and later
we will not use the list of constants for this group at all, otherwise it would be an error.
