I thought it was cost=startup_cost..total_cost. That is not quite the
same thing, since startup_cost is effectively "cost to produce first
row", and Sort can't really operate in a "streaming" fashion (well,
theoretically, something like selection sort could, but that's beside
the point) so it needs to do all the work up front. I'm no explain
expert, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
