Nice catch.  Yeah, is_not_null is a valid column option in xmltable.
In you example, the value of the is_not_null option is "|| 'c'", which
is interpreted as an A_Expr.

I wonder if the value's type should be checked earlier, rather than at
the last minute.

Also, I think IsA is a better choice for checking the node type.
