Change in transitve closure from 9i to 10g.

Sometime back, I have discussed about transitive closure behavior when query_rewrite_enabled parameter is set to true/false in this blog, http://jaffardba.blogspot.com/2006/03/transitive-closure-behaviour-when.html. It was on Oracle version 9iR2(9205).
Jonathan has discussed the changes of transitive closure in 10g at his blog, http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2006/12/13/cartesian-merge-join/.
There is a (hidden) parameter _optimizer_transitivity_retain which is set to true in version 10g. This over comes the big problem of transitive closure behavior when query_rewrite_enabled is not set to true.
