Yes, I understand your point. But I kept in mind a different idea, sorry 
for my bad explanation:
In the case of another subquery, we can't use the memoize node even if 
it would help a lot:

EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, COSTS OFF, TIMING OFF, BUFFERS OFF, SUMMARY ON)
SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN (
   SELECT t2.* FROM t2 JOIN (
     VALUES (1,1), (2,2)) AS q2(x,y)
   ON (t2.y=q2.y)) q
ON (t1.x = q.x);

see the full case reproduction script in the attachment.
So, the question is: may we play with subquery flattening to let memoize 
caching a join result?
In our previous discussion, you pointed out the problem of reference 
detection. But maybe the SubqueryScan hack can make it simpler?
