But the code as you've written it doesn't enforce any such
restriction. It just spends CPU cycles testing for a condition which,
to the best of your knowledge, will never happen.
If it's really a can't happen condition, how about checking it via an Assert()?
else if (scan->scanrelid == 0)
{ Assert(IsA(scan, ForeignScan) || IsA(scan, CustomScan)); varno = INDEX_VAR;
}
