But I think right now we're not checking the row being sent from the
local server, either.  The WCO that is being ignored isn't a
constraint on the foreign table; it's a constraint on a view which
happens to reference the foreign table.  It seems quite odd for the
"assume constraints are valid" property of the foreign table to
propagate back up into the view that references it.
