I'm kind of tempted to mount an effort to get rid of as many of pathnodes.h's "read_write_ignore" annotations as possible. Some are necessary to prevent infinite recursion, and others represent considered judgments that they'd bloat node dumps more than they're worth --- but I think quite a lot of them arose from plain laziness about updating outfuncs.c. With the infrastructure we have now, that's no longer a good reason.
That was my impression as well, and I agree it would be good to sort that out.
