Well, I thought of that case but then we may have problems without
GROUP BY. use_physical_tlist() doesn't list ForeignScan as an
exception. deparseTargetList() constructs the tlist based on
attrs_used, which doesn't know if the same column was repeated in the
SELECT clause. build_tlist_to_deparse() flattens the tlist to be
deparsed. I think the assumption is that the user won't use immutable
expression as a column.
