<para>
As described in <xref linkend="xfunc-volatility">, functions and
operators marked <literal>IMMUTABLE</literal> can be evaluated when
the query is planned rather than when it is executed. This means
that constant parts of a subexpression that is not evaluated during
query execution might still be evaluated during query planning.
