I don't think so. Recursion plan needs the hash table used by sublan
be re-created at each recursion loop stage. Remember that in each
evaluation of recursive plan, the recursive name is replaced by a
working table which is holding previous evalution result of recursion
stage. Thus the hash table corresponding to the work table needs to
be re-created.

Yeah, that's right. What I have in my mind is to implement something
similar to UpdateChangedParamSet family like mechanism which will
inherit working table change event to child node.
