Now v2 mixes two separate changes:
1) Adding ExecInitForPortionOf() to address the UPDATE OF trigger issue
2) Fixing the inheritance/leftover bug originally reported in this thread
I’d prefer not to combine these in a single patch. Could you please split out
the refactoring that adds ExecInitForPortionOf() into a separate patch, with
tests showing that the UPDATE OF trigger issue is fixed? Then I can rework my
inheritance/leftover fix on top of that.
