Hello!

Is there some correct way to use complex expressions as a key for partitioned table?
Inserting works as expected, but select runs over all partitions until use complete partition key expression as predicate

test=# create table test (
id text,
v1 bigint,
v2 bigint
)
partition by range (((v1 + v2) % 10));
CREATE TABLE

test=# create table test_1 partition of test for values from (0) to (1);
CREATE TABLE

test=# create table test_2 partition of test for values from (1) to (2);
CREATE TABLE

test=# insert into test values (1, 100, 101);
INSERT 0 1

test=# insert into test values (1, 100, 100);
INSERT 0 1

test=# select * from test_1;
id | v1 | v2
----+-----+-----
1 | 100 | 100
(1 row)

test=# select * from test_2;
id | v1 | v2
----+-----+-----
1 | 100 | 101
(1 row)

test=# explain analyze select * from test where v1 = 100 and v2 = 100;
