As far as I see, there's nothing to go on... well unless you counted
canSetTag, which is false for the CTE (per analyzeCTE())... but that's
certainly not the fix.

I did wonder when first working on this patch if subquery_planner()
should grow an extra parameter, or maybe consolidate some existing
ones by passing some struct that provides the planner with a bit more
context about the query.  A few of the existing parameters are likely
candidates for being in such a struct. e.g. hasRecursion and
tuple_fraction. A SetOperationStmt could go in there too.

The other CTE thread about the PathKey change you worked on highlights
that something like this could be useful. I posted in [1] about this.
