Hmm ... given that pg_get_publication_tables() shouldn't return any
duplicate OIDs, it does seem unnecessarily inefficient to put it in
an IN-subselect condition. Peter, is there a reason why this isn't
a straight lateral join? I get a much saner-looking plan from

FROM pg_publication P, pg_class C
- JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)
- WHERE C.oid IN (SELECT relid FROM pg_get_publication_tables(P.pubname));
+ JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace),
+ LATERAL pg_get_publication_tables(P.pubname)
+ WHERE C.oid = pg_get_publication_tables.relid;
