Yeah, making a generic plan for UPDATE of inheritance tables will
certainly become faster, because we will no longer plan the same query
N times for N child tables.  There will still be N result relations
but only one sub-plan to fetch the rows from.  Also, planning will
still cost O(N), but with a much smaller constant factor.

By the way, let's keep any further discussion on this particular topic
in the other thread.

Thanks,
