Done. (I've left deparseDirectUpdateSql/deparseDirectDeleteSql as-is,
though.)
Other changes:
* Address the comments from Eitoku-san.
* Add regression tests.
* Fix a bug, which fails to show the actual row counts in EXPLAIN
ANALYZE for UPDATE/DELETE without a RETURNING clause.
* Rebase to HEAD.
Please find attached an updated version of the patch.
