Oh. In that case you're probably going to be looking at a tupledesc
that was synthesized by ExecTypeFromTL from a targetlist constructed by
the planner --- and except at the top level of the plan, the planner
doesn't bother to assign column names to generated targetlist entries.
So I'd expect you always get empty-string names, unless you test with a
trivial one-node scan plan.
