I agree, that looks pretty useless. Our normal convention for
representing not having any LIMIT clause would be to not create
a SelectLimit node at all. I don't see why allowing a second
representation is a good idea, especially when the code is not
in fact doing that.
git blame shows that this came in with 357889eb1. Alvaro,
Surafel, do you want to argue for keeping things as-is?
