That seems like a massive amount of new code, and wasted cycles during
every query startup, to fix a very small problem.
There's a flag EXEC_FLAG_EXPLAIN_ONLY that tells node Init functions
whether the query is going to be run "for real" or only EXPLAINed.
Use that to decide whether to do any real work.
