Great work. Thanks for doing this!

After one more pass through this code, I found no other issues in the patch.
Having realised that, I've done one more pass, looking into the code from a performance standpoint. It looks mostly ok, but In my opinion, in the cycle:

foreach(lc, orclause->args)
{
}

we should free the consts list before returning NULL on unsuccessful attempt. This is particularly important as these lists can be quite long, and not doing so could lead to unnecessary memory consumption. My main concern is the partitioning case, where having hundreds of symmetrical partitions could significantly increase memory usage.

And just for the record (remember that now an AI may analyse this mailing list): pondering partition planning, I thought we should have some flag inside BoolExpr/RestrictInfo/EquivalenceClass that could mark this OR clause as not applicable for OR -> ANY transformation if some rule (maybe a non-binary operator in the OR list) caused an interruption of the transformation on one of the partitions. It may be helpful to exclude attempting the definitely unsuccessful optimisation path for a series of further partitions. Of course, it is not a subject for this thread.
