I'm not convinced it's a good idea to introduce a separate executor node
for this. There's a fair bit of overhead in them, and they will only be
below certain types of nodes afaict. It seems like it'd be better to
pull the required calls into the nodes that do parametrized scans of
subsidiary nodes. Have you considered that?
