I think you refer to ATExecAlterConstrEnforceability, which claims
(falsely) that it is a subroutine to ATExecAlterConstrRecurse; in
reality it is called from ATExecAlterConstraintInternal or at least
that's what I see in your 0008.  So I wonder if you haven't confused
yourself here.  If nothing else, that comments needs fixed.  I didn't
review these patches.
