Is the following description now outdated:

"ForeignPath represents a potential scan of a foreign table"

Considering that there now exists FdwRoutine.GetForeignJoinPaths() whose
product is nothing else but a ForeignPath, should it now say (patch attached):

"ForeignPath represents a potential scan of foreign table(s)"

Or something better.

Thanks,
Amit

I think it'd be better to match the comment with that for
create_foreignscan_path(). So how about "ForeignPath represents a
potential scan of a foreign table, foreign join, or foreign
upper-relation processing"? I think we would probably need to update
the comment in src/backend/optimizer/README (L358), too.

That's a lot better. Updated patch attached.

Looks OK to me, too. Committed.
