While it's not enough of a problem to hold up the patch, the behavior
demonstrated by my test case does seem worse than what happens as a
result of mixing integer constants in other, comparable contexts. That
was the basis of my concern, really.
The existing IN() syntax somehow manages to produce a useful bigint[]
SAOP when I use the same mix of integer types/constants that were used
for my original test case from yesterday:
pg@regression:5432 =# explain (analyze,buffers) select * from tenk1
where four in (1, 2_147_483_648) order by four, ten limit 5;
