12) I find it rather suspicious that we make decisions in utility.c
solely based on commandType (whether it's CMD_UTILITY or not). IMO
it's pretty strange/ugly that T_LetStmt can be both CMD_UTILITY and
CMD_PLAN_UTILITY:

     case T_LetStmt:
         {
             if (pstmt->commandType == CMD_UTILITY)
                 doLetStmtReset(pstmt);
             else
             {
                 Assert(pstmt->commandType == CMD_PLAN_UTILITY);
                 doLetStmtEval(pstmt, params, queryEnv, queryString);
             }

             if (completionTag)
                 strcpy(completionTag, "LET");
         }
         break;



It looks strange, but it has sense, because the LET stmt supports reset to default value.

I can write

1. LET var = DEFAULT;
2. LET var = (query);

In first case I have not any query, that I can assign, and in this case the LET statement is really only UTILITY.

I did comment there

Pavel
