If you were going to do this, the thing to do would be to get it
hooked up to the PlannerInfo, possibly via an intermediate hop in the
Query.

Perhaps this is a silly question, but I don't particularly see what's
wrong with:

3. Do nothing.

If I understand correctly, for the current use of named tuplestores,
the existing code produces correct estimates.  If we chose option #1,
that would still be true, but we'd have to change a bunch of code to
get there.  If we chose option #2, it would cease to be true.  Why not
just leave it alone?
