That hardly seems acceptable.

You're poking into a data structure you shouldn't be poking into:
/* Plans are opaque structs for standard users of SPI */
typedef struct _SPI_plan *SPIPlanPtr;
I hardly think that keeping yourself at arm's length from the planner
by getting cozy with SPI internals is a net improvement in modularity.
