Interesting. What this shows is that reparameterize_path has to be able
to work on an AppendPath, because if you've got nested appendrels that's
the only sort of path there will be for that particular child of the
outer appendrel.
I'm a little worried about whether this doesn't mean that
reparameterize_path needs to be able to work on any kind of path.
However, given that it's been there quite some time without previous
reports of trouble, jumping to that conclusion may be premature.
I'm also wondering where reparameterize_path_by_child came from and
why it's so enormously more ambitious than reparameterize_path
in terms of its path-type coverage.
