Should the following paragraph in src/backend/optimizer/README be
updated to reflect the new reality after recent changes?

    An EquivalenceClass can contain "em_is_child" members, which are copies
    of members that contain appendrel parent relation Vars, transposed to
    contain the equivalent child-relation variables or expressions. These
    members are not full-fledged members of the EquivalenceClass and do not
    affect the class's overall properties at all. They are kept only to
    simplify matching of child-relation expressions to EquivalenceClasses.
    Most operations on EquivalenceClasses should ignore child members.

The part about these being in the EquivalenceClass might be worth
rewording now that we keep them in a separate array.
