I don't know what strange database environments you're the DBA or designer
of Mladen, but your dependency to a fault on query hints is really curious.

You can easily use Postgresql, Mysql, Mariadb and many other database
engines for decades in regular service with various interesting loads and
volume requirements without ever having a problem that requires hints to be
resolved.

I'm sure you'd be happy to provide us with contrieved examples of how hints
saves your day on regular basis. However there is ample proof that
Postgresql works ever so well as other database systems, even though it
doesn't implement hints. If there wasn't, don't you think developers and
system designers would abandone Postgresql in droves? Hint: They don't.

For anyone who want to know why the Postgresql community currently do not
consider hints to be very interesting, I encourage you to read this:
