I started to look at this patch, and I'm not entirely convinced whether
it is a good thing for the planner_hook to bump nested_level. ISTM
that will change behavior in some ways, in particular when the planner
chooses to evaluate an immutable or stable function that runs the
executor (probably via SPI). Before, that execution would have been
regarded as a top-level call, now it will not be. Maybe that's fine,
but did anyone think hard about it?
A possible alternative behavior is for planner_hook to maintain its
own nesting depth counter, separate from the one for execution
nesting depth. I'm not sure if that's better or not.
Discuss ...
