 * subquery_is_pushdown_safe().
 *
 * 4. If the subquery uses DISTINCT ON, we must not push down any quals that
 * refer to non-DISTINCT output columns, because that could change the set
 * of rows returned.  This condition is vacuous for DISTINCT, because then
 * there are no non-DISTINCT output columns, but unfortunately it's fairly
 * expensive to tell the difference between DISTINCT and DISTINCT ON in the
 * parsetree representation.  It's cheaper to just make sure all the Vars
 * in the qual refer to DISTINCT columns.
 *
 * 5. We must not push down any quals that refer to subselect outputs that
 * return sets, else we'd introduce functions-returning-sets into the
 * subquery's WHERE/HAVING quals.
 *
 * 6. We must not push down any quals that refer to subselect outputs that
 * contain volatile functions, for fear of introducing strange results due
 * to multiple evaluation of a volatile function.
