Yes, once they are written in a few weeks.
Thanks for clarifying Bruce. On #postgresql I was directed to the development docs ( https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/queries-with.html ) and got the additional information I needed. It is unfortunate there is no MATERIALIZED keyword in v11 to ensure I can preserve existing behavior during upgrade to v12 on queries that seem to benefit greatly from that optimization barrier, but I can appreciate why that decision was made.
