RIGHT NL seems like nonsense to me. This code stays here just to remind me to
add a check in the next version, if the community is interested.

We already talked about this in the main thread for pg_plan_advice. Now, it is
unavoidable because pg_plan_advice limits optimisations that expand the planning
scope. Before, it was enough to use standard tools like create_seqscan_path and
add_path and provide a semantically correct plan. Now, every optimisation has to
meet pg_plan_advice's internal rules, which are much more restrictive.
I did not fix this test failure to highlight the unpleasant situation for
extension developers, but you can find the fix in the list [1].
