I agree with Ashutosh.
I had given similar comment on earlier version of patch[1]
<https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAOgcT0NUUQXWRXmeVKkYTDQvWoKLYRMiPbc89ua6i_gG8FPDmA%40mail.gmail.com>,
and  Rahila reverted
with above reasoning, hence did not change the logic she introduced.

Probably its a good idea to have a separate patch that removes has_null
logic,
in a separate thread.
