Hm. There's no guarantee that the planner will evaluate the WHERE
clauses in the same order you write them, but it does seem to work that
way for these particular queries at the moment, so we may as well write
the clauses in the best order. You're right that the foo_is_visible()
family of functions are pretty slow...
