/* INTERFACE ROUTINES
 *		ExecInitAppend	- initialize the append node
 *		ExecAppend		- retrieve the next tuple from the node
 *		ExecEndAppend	- shut down the append node
 *		ExecReScanAppend - rescan the append node
 *
 *	 NOTES
 *		Each append node contains a list of one or more subplans which
 *		must be iteratively processed (forwards or backwards).
 *		Tuples are retrieved by executing the 'whichplan'th subplan
 *		until the subplan stops returning tuples, at which point that
 *		plan is shut down and the next started up.
 *
 *		Append nodes don't make use of their left and right
 *		subtrees, rather they maintain a list of subplans so
 *		a typical append node looks like this in the plan tree:
 *
 *				   ...
 *				   /
 *				Append -------+------+------+--- nil
 *				/	\		  |		 |		|
 *			  nil	nil		 ...    ...    ...
 *								 subplans
 *
 *		Append nodes are currently used for unions, and to support
 *		inheritance queries, where several relations need to be scanned.
 *		For example, in our standard person/student/employee/student-emp
 *		example, where student and employee inherit from person
 *		and student-emp inherits from student and employee, the
 *		query:
 *
 *				select name from person
 *
 *		generates the plan:
 *
 *				  |
 *				Append -------+-------+--------+--------+
 *				/	\		  |		  |		   |		|
 *			  nil	nil		 Scan	 Scan	  Scan	   Scan
 *							  |		  |		   |		|
 *							person employee student student-emp
