Agreed. Your patch looks good to me.

I was confused for a bit about arch-dev.sgml talking about ModifyTable
when perform.sgml talks about Insert/Update et al; I thought at first
that one or the other was in error, so I checked. It turns out that
they are both correct, because arch-dev is talking about code-level
executor nodes while perform.sgml is talking about how it looks under
EXPLAIN. So, it all looks good.

I assume you're proposing to back-patch this.
