Basically agreed, but sample scan doesn't increment seq_scan but
increments seq_tup_read.
Aside from that fact, before 147e3722f7 TidScan didn't need a scan
descriptor so didn't call table_beginscan. table_beginscan didn't
increment the counter for bitmapscan and samplescan. The commit
changes TidScan to call beginscan but didn't change table_beginscan
not to increment the counter for tidscans.

increments
scan type table_beginscan?, per scan, per tuple , SO_TYPE flags
=============================================================================
seq scan : yes , seq_scan, seq_tup_read , SO_TYPE_SEQSCAN
index scan : no , idx_scan, idx_tup_fetch , <none>
bitmap scan: yes , idx_scan, idx_tup_fetch , SO_TYPE_BITMAPSCAN
sample scan: yes , <none> , seq_tup_read , SO_TYPE_SAMPLESCAN
TID scan : yes , seq_scan, <none> , <none>
bitmap scan and sample scan are historically excluded by corresponding
flags is_bitmapscan and is_samplescan and the commit c3b23ae457 moved
the work to SO_TYPE_* flags. After 147e3722f7, TID scan has the same
characteristics, that is, it calls table_beginscan but doesn't
increment seq_scan. But it doesn't have corresponding flag value.
I'd rather think that whatever calls table_beginscan should have
corresponding SO_TYPE_* flags. (Note: index scan doesn't call it.)
It would be another issue what we should do for the sample scan case.
regards.
