------------------------------------------------

PostgreSQL refuses to use index if WHERE clause contains function call.
This problem exists in 6.5.3 also.


Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Do following queries:

	create table t (f int);

	create index i on t (f);

	create function func() returns int as 'select 1' language 'sql';

	set enable_seqscan to 'off';

	explain select * from t where f = 1;

	  Index Scan using i on t  (cost=0.00..2.01 rows=1 width=4)

	explain select * from t where f = func();

	  Seq Scan on t  (cost=100000000.00..100000001.34 rows=1 width=4)
