I think I'd rather find some way to do it that didn't denormalise the
parse nodes like that. It seems very strange to have a CmdType in the
Query struct, and then another set of them in RangeTblEntry. Besides
bloating the size of the RangeTblEntry struct a bit, it also could
lead to inconsistency bugs where the two CmdTypes differ, for some
reason.
