Uh, I need some explaination of what an initplan is and what type of
query this helps.

So we generate the entire query before the target list function calls,
the run another parallel run just for those function calls? Really? Do
we run each column in its own worker or do we split the result set into
parts and run those in parallel? How do we know, just the function call
costs? I can admit I never saw that coming.
