I have no objection to this patch as such, but I think that the docs
around FDW direct modify need significantly more work than this.
I've had a to-do item for awhile to work on that, but it hasn't gotten
to the top of the list.

A larger issue is that I think the API itself is poorly designed, as
I stated awhile ago (<31706(dot)1457547166(at)sss(dot)pgh(dot)pa(dot)us>) and was told it
was too late to object. So that's kind of discouraged me from bothering.

regards, tom lane
