Great!

I think we can't just remove every unused parameter, for instance, it
makes sense to retain PlannerInfo *root parameter even though it's not
used now, in future it may be. But if the parameter is of type
unrelated to the context of the function, like the one committed
65b158ae4e892c2da7a5e31e2d2645e5e79a0bfd and like the proposed patch
to some extent, it could be removed.

Others may have different thoughts here.
