Currently, I'm trying to make wCTEs behave a bit like RULEs do.  But if 
every rewrite product takes a new snapshot, wCTEs will behave very 
unpredictably.

But because EXPLAIN ANALYZE does *not* take a new snapshot for every 
rewrite product, I'm starting to think that maybe this isn't the 
behaviour we wanted to begin with?
