So you have four (soon to be six or seven) different structs that *must*
have the same fields? I don't think that's cleaner than a union ...
at the very least, declare it as structs containing RangeTblEntry,
similar to the way the various Plan node types work (see plannodes.h).

No, it should be implemented as Rescan. The portal mechanism needs to
expose the Rescan call for the contained querytree.
