Actually ... we could make that a lot safer by insisting that the
other input be a plain Var, which'd necessarily be a column of the
foreign table.  That would still cover most cases of practical
interest, I think, and it would remove any question of whether
implicit coercions had snuck in.  It's more restrictive than I'd
really like, but I think it's less likely to cause problems.
