I think the best place would be parseRelOptions. The problem is that
transformRelOptions does not apply any semantics to the values it's
parsing; it doesn't know about the relopt_kind for example. That stuff
is only known by parseRelOptions, but when the options reach that point,
they have already lost the namespace (due to transformRelOptions).

No clean way to do that :-(
