Add comments on avoid reuse of parse-time snapshot

Apparently, reusing the parse-time query snapshot for later steps
(execution) is a frequently considered optimization ... but it doesn't
work, for reasons discovered in thread [1].  Adding some comments about
why it doesn't really work can relieve some future hackers from wasting
time reimplementing it again.
