It doesn't seem worth the bother of changing it or adding 10 lines of
code, or keeping track of whether "attnums" is initialized or not.
After all, it wasn't worth pfree()ing the array (which seems to work as
intended). The array can't be larger than ~3200 bytes, and I doubt
anybody is going to be excited about saving a couple bytes per dropped
column.
