True, but as you can see, create_append_plan() produces its own targetlist:
static Plan *
create_append_plan(PlannerInfo *root, AppendPath *best_path)
{
Append *plan;
List *tlist = build_path_tlist(root, &best_path->path);
...
If we replace Append with some custom node, the plan will instantly become
invalid (it won't be be able to build a projection from 'custom_scan_tlist'
to 'targetlist'). However, this doesn't mean that it's unable to produce
the same result.
