Hm. Really there's a whole dance that typically goes on, which is like
if (!is_projection_capable_plan(result_plan)) { result_plan = (Plan *)
make_result(root, sub_tlist,
NULL, result_plan); }
else { /* * Otherwise, just replace the subplan's flat tlist with
* the desired tlist. */ result_plan->targetlist = sub_tlist;
}
Perhaps we could encapsulate this whole sequence into a function called
say assign_targetlist_to_plan(), which would have the responsibility to
decide whether a Result node needs to be inserted.
