Sheesh, people are really keen on bagging the CBO...Hell, we all know
its trivial to produce scenarios where the CBO will get it wrong
(inter-column dependencies always being a common one)..

But a little humility please...I've also had many times where I've
seen a plan and thought..."Nah, CBO has got it wrong"...so I hint it
in the way that I think will be best, and guess what, my option sucks
and the CBO's choice was better...Man, we all stay quiet on that one
don't we...
