Yeah, but I mean we modify set_append_rel_size so that we only map a 
parent wholerow Var in the parent tlist to a child wholerow Var in the 
child's tlist; parent wholerow Vars in the parent's other expressions 
such as conditions are transformed into CREs as-is.

Is that still possible when we only map a parent wholerow Var in the 
parent's tlist to a child wholerow Var in the child's tlist?
