PlannedStmt is part of the plan tree, which MUST be read-only to
the executor. This is not negotiable. However, there's other
places that this data could be put, such as QueryDesc.
Or for that matter, couldn't the data structure be created by
the planner? (It looks like David is proposing exactly that
further down.)
