Ummm ... I'm not convinced about that. ExecutorStart doesn't have any
cheap way of inspecting the query carefully (eg, to see if it invokes
volatile functions), nor any understanding of what context the query is
being called in (eg, inside a subtransaction or volatile function).

If you're planning to insert 4 billion rows without using COPY (or at
least multi-VALUES inserts), you've got more patience than I do.
