Thanks for the patch.
I think we also need to document that interleaved_parts is not set for
join relations, otherwise someone may in the future try to use that
field for an optimisation for join relations. At the moment, per
generate_orderedappend_paths, we only handle IS_SIMPLE_REL type
relations.
I've attached a patch that updates the comments to mention this.
