It says these enhancement on interface allows extensions to implement
join operation in their own way (including remote join in case of FDW),
however, enhancement of postgres_fdw is not yet upstreamed.

So, how about the description below? It focuses on interface enhancement.

- Allow extensions to implement join in their own way using foreign
  data wrappers and customer scan interface.
