Can we backport this fix? I'm trying to setup a new windows build
environment and this is currently halting my progress for back branches.

Technically, it's fairly easy. And given that it's been working for a
couple of betas of 8.3, it seems it should be safe. OTOH, the official
build for 8.3 doesn't use it, so binary testers haven't seen it. But any
issues should've been build issues rather than runtime ones, I think.

So yeah, it would be reasonably easy to do, and probably a good idea.
Anybody think we shouldn't?

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

Given that we're abandoning support for 8.0 and 8.1 on Windows,
I'd say +1 for fixing 8.2, but not for any older branches.
