Not really. Constraint exclusion won't kick in for a constraint like
CHECK (hashme(a) % 16 == 3) and a WHERE clause of the form a = 42.
Of course, since partitioning generally doesn't improve performance in
PostgreSQL anyway, it's not clear why you'd want to do this in the
first place. But the fact that constraint exclusion won't work if you
do is kind of a knockout blow.
