Please notice that the very terms of discussion in that message depend
on a view of wCTEs that has got nothing to do with what was applied.
I'm afraid that the goals of this patch might be similarly obsolete.
I definitely don't want to apply the patch in a hurry just because
we're down to the end of the commitfest.
