IMHO, there is another way to implement this, other than the procedure 
to override the child-rel-quals with the ones from the parent. At DDL 
time, synchronize quals on the parent with rls quals of the childs. 
Isn't this also what happens with constraints?

Then during expansion of the range table, no code is needed to ignore 
child rls quals and copy parent rels to child rels.

Also, the security policy applied would be invariant to the route 
through which the rows were accessed:
- directly to the child row: child rls quals and parent quals (by 
propagate at ddl) are applied.
- through the parent: child rls quals and parent quals applied.
