Not much to thank for, the answer was actually wrong...

Its not really relevant for views no.

The real answer for this is that this actually a 8.4 feature not the
aforementioned 9.2 feature.

The commit introducing this is:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd3daddaf232d95b0c9ba6f99b0170a0147dd8af

What that does to add hashing support for IN(). But hashing can be
pessimal in comparison to a explicit check if only a few values come in,
so this can be checked at runtime after the above commit...

Greetings,

Andres Freund
