You're right. Fixed.

Thank you for the patch!

@@ -3672,11 +3671,12 @@ typedef enum AlterSubscriptionType
 typedef struct AlterSubscriptionStmt
 {
        NodeTag         type;
-       AlterSubscriptionType kind; /* ALTER_SUBSCRIPTION_SET_OPTIONS, etc */

+       bool            isReset;                /* true if RESET option */
 } AlterSubscriptionStmt;

It's unnatural to me that AlterSubscriptionStmt has isReset flag even
in spite of having 'kind' indicating the command. How about having
RESET comand use the same logic of SET as you suggested while having
both ALTER_SUBSCRIPTION_SET_OPTIONS and
ALTER_SUBSCRIPTION_RESET_OPTIONS?
