DESCRIPTION:

(( This WL entry is superseded by MWL#66 ))

Suppose there is a subquery that is correlated, and is not in the WHERE clause
e.g. 

SELECT ..., (SELECT ... FROM t2 WHERE t2.col=t1.col) FROM t1; 

or 

SELECT ..., left_expr IN (SELECT ... FROM t2 WHERE t2.col=t1.col) FROM t1; 

In this case, the only strategy is to re-evaluate the predicate for every record
combination of the outer select.  This can be improved if we catch all
correlation references and implement a lookup cache:

  (left_expr, outer_ref_value1, ... outer_ref_valueN) -> predicate_value

it's hard to predict what will be the optimal size of the cache but one-element
cache will most certainly be worth it.


HIGH-LEVEL SPECIFICATION:



Not a spec but some considerations:

* eq_ref access has one-element "lookup cache"

* Materialization optimization (WL#1110) also has lookup cache, see
subselect_hash_semi_join_engine::test_if_l_operand_changed.

The tricky parts are:

1. Assemble a list of correlation references

2. Determine cache size.
