whereupon the entire premise of a read-only tree collapses ...

That's a bit nasty. I'm fairly sure that I added in_info_list to the
walker recursion because I had to; I don't recall the exact scenario,
but I think it needs to be possible to reassign relation numbers
within that data structure if we are doing it elsewhere in a query
tree.
