I have marked them as resjunk already. The problem is that the subquery 
I build contains another subquery. As SQL it looks something like the 
following:

select *
from(select *, row_number() over () rn from r) r
left outer join(select *, ts p1 from r    union all select *, te p1 from r) s
on p1 >= r.ts and p1 < r.te
order by rn, p1;

I set then the output columns of the outer select to resjunk for rn and 
p1, like this...

i = list_length(qry->targetList);
get_tle_by_resno(qry->targetList, i)->resjunk = true;
get_tle_by_resno(qry->targetList, --i)->resjunk = true;


However, I cannot do that inside, because I need them above... or do I 
miss something here?
