Version 11 partitioning: Constraint exclusion vs Partition Pruning

Good afternoon,

I am contemplating implementing partitioning in Postgres v 11. I am
reading the documentation and came across this statement in the Constraint
Exclusion section:
*Constraint exclusion only works when the query's WHERE clause contains
constants (or externally supplied parameters). *
Is this true also in Partition pruning? I don't see a similar statement in
that section.
If we can place variables in the where clause and have partitioning still
work, that would be an awesome enhancement. I see that Declarative
partitioning was implemented in version 10 and a whole raft of partitioning
enhancements in version 11. (We are currently at 9.4 and want to upgrade
as well).
