Well, I'm confused. I see that there's a relationship between what
Antonin is trying to do and what Jeevan is trying to do, but I can't
figure out whether one is a subset of the other, whether they're both
orthogonal, or something else. This plan looks similar to what I
would expect Jeevan's patch to produce, except i have no idea what
"Parallel" would mean in a plan that contains no Gather node.
