in our current flow, you said the magic words, query planner: the query planner is getting more hotpaths available to it than historically practical, and richer optimizations along them than used to be feasible

as we saturate baseline performance here, the question R&D community is already pushing on is making this more dynamic and per-workload, which opens even more room. ex: providing more open interfaces like better planner control by user owned agents. there are much more aggressive forms for more aggresive users: the more important a user, the more interesting it gets.
