That would be notationally nicer, but no help performance-wise; I'm
fairly sure that IS DISTINCT doesn't get optimized in any fashion
whatsoever :-(
What might be worth trying is functional indexes on the COALESCE(foo,0)
expressions. Or if possible, consider revising your data schema to
avoid using NULLs in a way that requires assuming that NULL = NULL.
