node of a SubLink or SubPlan testexpr field.  Bug resulted from replacing
the old lefthand/exprs list fields with a simple expression field, and not
remembering that expression_tree_walker is coded to save a few cycles by
recursing directly to self on list fields (on the assumption the walker
isn't interested in List nodes per se).  On non-list fields it must of
course call the walker.  Possibly that hack isn't worth the risk of more
such bugs, but I'll leave it be for now.  Per bug report from James Robinson.

side of a left join, but we have to do it on the lefthand side too.

of the scaling factor greater than 1.
