Yes, I know both paths are hit now that it uses GetBool.

What I'm wondering is why tests didn't fail when one path wasn't hit - when it
said am_partition=DatumGetChar(); if (!am_partition){}

I suppose it's because the am_partition=true case correctly handles
nonpartitions.

Maybe the !am_partition case should be removed, and add a comment that
pg_partition_tree(pg_partition_root(%u))) also handles non-partitions.
Or maybe that's inefficient...
