Well, the whole point of that rule is that the executor can't modify
a plancache entry. If the plancache itself sets a field in such an
entry, that doesn't seem problematic from here.

But there's other possibilities if that bothers you; QueryDesc
could hold the field, for example. Also, I bet we'd want to copy
it into EState for the main initialization recursion.
