Sounds good, but can you explain how this will help? Not questioning it,

I'm half way through join removal patch, so this work might extend the
join elimination to semi/anti joins also (hopefully), or it might
(hopefully not) prevent the join elimination altogether. I'll let you
know how I get on.
