see standard_planner()

if (force_parallel_mode != FORCE_PARALLEL_OFF && best_path->parallel_safe)
{
Gather   *gather = makeNode(Gather);


Probably force_parallel_mode is good for testing the tuple queue code,
and some code in Gather, but I'm not quite sure what else its good
for. Certainly not GatherMerge.
