The reason why I put a walker routine on the head of standard_planner()
was that previous revision of this patch tracked strict depth of sub-queries,
not a number of times to go through security barrier.
The policy to count-up depth of qualifier was changed according to Noad's
suggestion is commit-fest 1st, however, the suitable position to mark the
depth value was kept.
I'll try to revise the suitable position to track the depth value. It seems to
me one candidate is pull_up_subqueries during its recursive call, because
this patch originally set FromExpr->security_barrier here.

In addition to the two points you mentioned above, I'll update this patch
as follows:
* Use CREATE [SECURITY] VIEW statement, instead of reloptions.
  the flag shall be stored within a new attribute of pg_class, and it shall
  be kept when an existing view getting replaced.

* Utilize RangeTblEntry->relid, instead of rte->security_barrier, and the
  flag shall be pulled from the catalog on planner stage.

* Documentation and Regression test.
