In remove_rel_from_phvs_mutator(), we have:

else if (IsA(node, Query))
    {
        Query      *newnode;

       ...
   }

I want to find what kind of SQL can enter the above else-if block.
So I added "assert(0)" to the else-if block. But no regression test crashed.
We test rel->baserestrictinfo here. Is it possible that the clause
includes a Query structure?
I know some xxx_mutator() functions in the planner have the same logic
processing pattern.
Is there a need to add a test case to cover the above code?

Agree.
