v1-0001-Disallow-removing-placeholders-during-Self-Join-E.patch (application/octet-stream) patch v1-0001

Hi all,

I've got an off-list bug report from Alexander Lakhin involving a
placeholder variable.  Alena and Andrei proposed a fix.  It is fairly
simple: we just shouldn't remove PHVs during self-join elimination, as
they might still be referenced from other parts of a query.  The patch
is attached.  I'm going to fix this if no objections.
