  1. Make group_similar_or_args() reorder clause list as little as possible

  2. Allow usage of match_orclause_to_indexcol() for joins

  3. Skip not SOAP-supported indexes while transforming an OR clause into SAOP

  4. Remove the wrong assertion from match_orclause_to_indexcol()

  5. Teach bitmap path generation about transforming OR-clauses to SAOP's

  6. Transform OR-clauses to SAOP's during index matching

  7. Fix the value of or_to_any_transform_limit in postgresql.conf.sample

  8. Transform OR clauses to ANY expression

  9. MergeAttributes code deduplication

  10. SEARCH and CYCLE clauses

  11. Improve estimation of OR clauses using extended statistics.

  12. Teach btree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively.

  13. Revise collation derivation method and expression-tree representation.

  14. Instead of trying to force WHERE clauses into CNF or DNF normal form,

Yes, I think so too. I also added some tests. I have attached an 
additional diff-5.diff where you can see the changes.

I think it can be made more stable if we always add the existing 
transformed expressions first, and then the original ones, or vice versa. T

o do this, we will need two more lists, I think, and then we can combine 
them, where the elements of the second will be written to the end of the 
first.

But I suppose that this may not be the only unstable behavior - I 
suppose we need sorting result elements on the left side, what do you think?
