That's a good suggestion. One problem I see with that is that
final_rtable is set only once we've found the first *non-dummy* child.
So, if all the children except the last one are dummy, we'd end up never
reusing the source child objects. Now, if final_rtable was set for the
first child irrespective of whether it turned out to be dummy or not,
which it seems OK to do, then we can implement your suggestion.
