Well, AFAICS selecting a disjunction ought to qualify as a single SQL
command using a single snapshot. It's not that different from a JOIN
or UNION operation, no?

You would need to force all these operations to be done with the same
snapshot; should be possible with SPI_execute_snapshot. But really the
above sounds like a toy prototype implementation to me. Why aren't you
building this as executor plan-tree machinery?

Why? You could use a tuplestore for transient data.
