It'd mean that we are operating on a child table but should not
recurse to its children (if any).  Not sure if the case actually
arises, although it could make sense if we flattened the inheritance
tree into a list of target tables earlier on, which does happen in
many cases.  But most of the code paths that do it that way don't
bother with recurse/recursing parameters.
