 <glossdef><para> IN/NOT IN subqueries are now much more efficient
+  <footnote>
+  <para>
+   In previous releases, IN/NOT IN subqueries were joined to the
+   upper query by sequentially scanning the subquery looking for
+   a join.  The 7.4 code uses the same sophisticated techniques
+   used by ordinary joins and so is much faster, and is now faster
+   than EXISTS subqueries.
