The basic point of this patch is to apply the generate-and-compare-Paths
paradigm to the planning steps after query_planner(), which only covers
...

I'm really glad to see that. Separating path nodes for later steps opens a new
ways to optimize queries. For first glance, consider
select * from a left outer join b on a.i = b.i limit 1;
Limit node could be pushed down to scan over 'a' table if b.i is unique.
I tried to look into patch and I had a question (one for now): why LimitPath
doesn't contain actual limit/offset value? I saw a lot of subqueries with LIMIT
1 which could be transformed into EXISTS subquery.

Me too. I applied the patch and can confirm that 'make test' doesn't fail on
FreeBSD 10.2. Now I will try to run kind of TPC-H with and without patch.
