I'm glad. I'm curious to see if you're right about the projection
overhead of the flags. If you're right, it seems like a not too
difficult optimisation to get in.

I like the idea as it also gets rid of the flag cruft from
prepunion.c, which saves having to add flags conditionally if
INTERCEPT/EXCEPT were ever made to use joins.
