OK, will look into that.

Will look into that too.

That's not true.  There is a function named classifyConditions().  The 
function naming in deparse.c is a bit arbitrary.

The reason why I named that function isSubqueryExpr is that I think that 
function would be soon extended so as to handle PHVs.  See another patch 
for evaluating PHVs remotely.

Seems like a good idea.  Will revise.
