Well, the planner could have hardwired knowledge about the existence of
the hardwired filters --- if anything, that'd probably be easier than
hacking it to have a similar level of knowledge about generic-looking
function calls. But in reality, since we don't know at plan time which
userid will execute the constructed plan, I'm not sure we could come up
with useful estimates anyway.
