Well, one of the founding principles of postgres_fdw was to be able
to talk to PG servers that are not of the same version as yours.
If we break that in the name of performance, we are going to have
a lot of unhappy users. Even the ones who do get the benefit of
the speedup are going to be unhappy when it breaks because they
didn't upgrade local and remote at exactly the same time.
Just because we'd like to have it doesn't make the patch workable
in the real world.
