CVS tip has now had its consciousness raised on this point ;-).  Turns
out that it's not significantly more expensive to apply the test to
individual vars instead of having a blanket check on the whole query,
so I fixed it.

Jonathan will still need to put the explicit casts into his view for
use with 7.3.*, though.  He probably should do that anyway, because
even in 7.4 a restriction on the "type" column would not get pushed
down as desired if the literals are UNKNOWN type.
