Description of ForeignPath

From

Is the following description now outdated:

"ForeignPath represents a potential scan of a foreign table"

Considering that there now exists FdwRoutine.GetForeignJoinPaths() whose
product is nothing else but a ForeignPath, should it now say (patch attached):

"ForeignPath represents a potential scan of foreign table(s)"

Or something better.

Thanks,
Amit

I think it'd be better to match the comment with that for 
create_foreignscan_path().  So how about "ForeignPath represents a 
potential scan of a foreign table, foreign join, or foreign 
upper-relation processing"?  I think we would probably need to update 
the comment in src/backend/optimizer/README (L358), too.
