Thanks for dividing patches that way.

Would it be a good idea to add some new test cases to these patches, just
so it's easily apparent what we're changing?

So, we could add the test case presented by Thibaut at the following link
to the default_partition_pruning.patch:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/a4968068-6401-7a9c-8bd4-6a3bc9164a86%40dalibo.com

And, another reported at the following link to
ignore_contradictory_where_clauses_at_partprune_step.patch:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/bd03f475-30d4-c4d0-3d7f-d2fbde755971%40dalibo.com

Actually, it might be possible/better to construct the test queries in
partition_prune.sql using the existing tables in that script, that is,
without defining new tables just for adding the new test cases.  If not,
maybe it's OK to create the new tables too.

Thanks,
Amit
