I mean, in an ideal world, I think we'd never call back out to
ProcessUtility() from within AlterTable(). That seems like a pretty
clear layering violation. I assume the reason we've never tried to do
better is a lack of round tuits and/or sufficient motivation.
In terms of what we'd do instead, I suppose we'd try to move as much
as possible inside the ALTER TABLE framework proper and have
everything call into that.
