I don't see how #1 would add meaningful overhead compared to the other
costs of that function.  Wouldn't it just be adding if (isnew) *isnew =
false; to the "/* ResultRelInfo already built */" branch, and the
reverse to the else?  That got to be several orders of magnitude cheaper
than e.g. FormPartitionKeyDatum() which is unconditionally executed?

Not sure, tbh. Probably depends a bit on how complicated it'd look?
