The idea was to check just before the update occurred to see if the
destination was view. Maybe the test is too high up, before all rewriting
occurs.
It is in InitPlan, the same place we check to make sure that we are not
changing a sequence or a toast table. (actually initResultRelInfo called from
InitPlan). I gathered from the backend flowchart that this wasn't called
until all rewriting was done. Was I wrong?
If all rewriting _is_ done at that point, why is the view still in the
ResultRelInfo ?
