After studying the pipeline mode some more, I no longer think that's
a great idea. ISTM we want pipeline mode to act as nearly as possible
the same as issuing the same series of queries non-pipelined. But
this redefinition would make it different. So, barring objection,
I'll push that cleanup patch as-posted.
