Query Optimization by Predicate Move-Around

Summary: Introduces predicate move-around, a pre-pushdown technique that moves predicates across blocks to reuse filters over subqueries and views. Extends pushdown to EXISTS/NOT EXISTS, EXCEPT, FDs, and aggregation; enables inference and easy optimizer integration. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
