Right, but still I think we shouldn't leave the appendrel case unattended.

This makes sense to me.

Thats what I had in mind as well, but not sure which is the best place
to set it.  Shall we do it in set_append_rel_size() after setting the
size of each relation (after foreach loop) or is it better to do it in
set_append_rel_pathlist().  Is it better to do it as a separate patch
or to enhance your patch for this change?  If you are okay, I can
update the patch or write a new one based on what is preferred?
