  /* Attempt to omit tables from the join that do not affect the result.
  ** For a table to not affect the result, the following must be true:
  **
  **   1) The query must not be an aggregate.
  **   2) The table must be the RHS of a LEFT JOIN.
  **   3) Either the query must be DISTINCT, or else the ON or USING clause
  **      must contain a constraint that limits the scan of the table to 
  **      at most a single row.
  **   4) The table must not be referenced by any part of the query apart
  **      from its own USING or ON clause.
  **
  ** For example, given:
  **
  **     CREATE TABLE t1(ipk INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, v1);
  **     CREATE TABLE t2(ipk INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, v2);
  **     CREATE TABLE t3(ipk INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, v3);
  **
  ** then table t2 can be omitted from the following:
  **
  **     SELECT v1, v3 FROM t1 
  **       LEFT JOIN t2 USING (t1.ipk=t2.ipk)
  **       LEFT JOIN t3 USING (t1.ipk=t3.ipk)
  **
  ** or from:
  **
  **     SELECT DISTINCT v1, v3 FROM t1 
  **       LEFT JOIN t2
  **       LEFT JOIN t3 USING (t1.ipk=t3.ipk)
