Thanks. I started looking at this a bit more closely, and I think most
of the changes are fine - the code was changed to call a different
function, but the comments still reference generate_gather_paths().

The one exception seems to be create_ordered_paths(), because that
comment also makes statements about what generate_gather_pathes is
doing. And some of it does not apply to generate_useful_gather_paths.
For example it says it generates order-preserving Gather Merge paths,
but generate_useful_gather_paths also generates paths with sorts (which
are clearly not order-preserving).

So I think this comment will need a bit more work to update ...
