Hmm. The committed patch already causes us to investigate more
paths than before, which I was okay with because it only costs
more if there's an antijoin involved --- which it seems like
there's at least a 50% chance of winning on, depending on which
table is bigger.

This:

seems like it adds a lot of new paths with a lot lower chance
of win, but maybe we could tighten the conditions to improve
the odds?
