I've passed through the logic of 
get_param_path_clause_serials/reparameterize_path_by_child/reparameterize_path.
Agree, it seems not useful to parameterise ordered appends in the near 
future. Even So, it would be better to insert changes, induced by new 
feature by one commit.
By the way, Do you know if anyone gave a speech on the current state of 
internal plan parameterisation and its possible development directions? 
It would be helpful to have such an explanation.

Thanks for the review.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this sentence.

Not that I'm aware of, but I found the "Parameterized Paths" section
in optimizer/README to be very helpful.

Thanks

Yeah, it's my bad English. nothing special, I just wanted to say that 
this code can be added later.

Although parameterisation itself quite clearly described, the concept 
and code, related to re-parameterisation (in presence of 
inheritance/partitioning) seems complicated.

Pushed.  Thank you for review.

Thanks
