  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,

Additionally, if those OR constants repeat you'll see ...
If all constants are the same value, fine
explain select * from x where ((ID = 1) OR (ID = 1) OR (ID = 1));
Index Only Scan using x_id on x  (cost=0.42..4.44 rows=1 width=4)
  Index Cond: (id = 1)

if all values are almost the same, ops
explain select * from x where ((ID = 1) OR (ID = 1) OR (ID = 1) OR (ID =
2));
Bitmap Heap Scan on x  (cost=17.73..33.45 rows=4 width=4)
  Recheck Cond: ((id = 1) OR (id = 1) OR (id = 1) OR (id = 2))
  ->  BitmapOr  (cost=17.73..17.73 rows=4 width=0)
        ->  Bitmap Index Scan on x_id  (cost=0.00..4.43 rows=1 width=0)
              Index Cond: (id = 1)
        ->  Bitmap Index Scan on x_id  (cost=0.00..4.43 rows=1 width=0)
              Index Cond: (id = 1)
        ->  Bitmap Index Scan on x_id  (cost=0.00..4.43 rows=1 width=0)
              Index Cond: (id = 1)
        ->  Bitmap Index Scan on x_id  (cost=0.00..4.43 rows=1 width=0)
              Index Cond: (id = 2)
