More to the point, the appropriate operator was chosen by parse analysis.
The planner has *zero* flexibility as to which operator is involved.
BTW, I remain totally mystified as to what people think the semantics of
partitioning ought to be. Child columns can have a different type from
parent columns? Really? Why is this even under discussion? We don't
allow that in old-school inheritance, and I cannot imagine a rational
argument why partitioning should allow it.
