I considered targeting PG 19 and July Comitfest for this feature, but
currently, I don't see any further development needed here. What are
your thoughts, David? Does it make sense to commit this to PG 18?
I have no reason to rush the process, but this feature seems beneficial
for practice. When the internal structure is a bushy join tree,
producing even a single tuple can be costly. SQL Server's Spool node
addresses this issue, and people sometimes experience confusion
detecting degradation during migration with specific queries.
