I am confused, probably due to lack of knowledge.

What I would like to do is add a custom resjunk column
(e.g. a bytea) in AddForeignUpdateTargets that carries a row identifier
from the scan state to the modify state.
Would that be possible? Can I have anything else than a Var
in a resjunk column?
