Comment (by mcayland):

 I'm not 100% convinced that this is the right thing to be doing here,
 since we only have one reported use case and we don't have a test data set
 to play with. In any case, STRICT means that if any input parameter is
 NULL then the function can be short-circuited to return NULL which should
 help the planner.

 In short - without test data and configuration we can work with, I don't
 feel we have enough evidence to make this change.

 Mark.
