So we have three locations for that test; one is where it currently is,
which handles a small subset of the cases.  The other is where Amit
first proposed putting it, which handles some additional cases; and the
third one is where your latest patch puts it, which seems to handle all
cases.  Isn't that what Amit is saying?  If that's correct (and that's
what I want to imply with the comment changes I proposed), then we
should just accept that version of the patch.

I don't think that we care about what happens with constraint_exclusion
is on.  That's not the recommended value for that setting anyway.
