Due to the implementation of convert_ANY_sublink_to_join,  we have
limitations below, which has been discussed at [1] [2].

    if (contain_vars_of_level((Node *) subselect, 1))
        return NULL; 

I'm thinking if we can do the ${subject}. If so,  the query like

SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE 
a IN (SELECT * FROM t2 WHERE t2.b > t1.b);

can be converted to

SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE 
EXISTS (SELECT * FROM t2 WHERE t2.b > t1.b AND t1.a = t2.a);

Then the sublink can be removed with existing logic (the NOT-IN format
will not be touched since they have different meanings). 

Any ideas?
