hmm, yeah, but perhaps we should be discussing on the other thread...

With a prepared statement the Param will be unavailable until
execution, in which case we don't do the const folding.

A simple case is:

create table listp (a int) partition by list (a);
create table listp1 partition of listp for values in(1);
prepare q1 (int) as  select * from listp where a = $1;
explain analyze execute q1(1); -- repeat 5 times.
explain analyze execute q1(null); -- partkey_datum_from_expr() gets a
NULL param via the call from nodeAppend.c
