I do not think you can assume that the plan won't be used later with
some older snapshot. Consider recursive plpgsql functions for a
counterexample: the inner occurrence might be the first to arrive at
a given line of the function, hence the first to plan it, yet when we
return to the outer instance we might revert to an older snapshot.
