// ── Polymorphic DML-as-CTE fan-out ──────────────────────────────────────────
//
// A DML statement targeting an interface/abstract type can't be a single
// `UPDATE`/`DELETE ... RETURNING *` the way emit_dml_as_cte_source handles a
// concrete-type target — Postgres has no single physical relation backing
// the interface (each concrete implementor has its own table), and a bare
// `RETURNING *` off whichever one table `source_ref` happened to resolve
// would only ever see that one implementor's rows and never carry a
// `__type__` discriminator column at all (confirmed live: querying such a
// CTE from an outer polymorphic SELECT raised "column t1.__type__ does not
// exist", since the outer SELECT — see emit_select_stmt and the "CTE-backed
// polymorphic sources" comment there — assumes any CTE tied to a polymorphic
// type already exposes one).
//
// Mirrors emit_poly_update_stmt/emit_poly_delete_stmt's per-implementor
// UNION ALL fan-out (one CTE per concrete table, each RETURNING-ing rows,
// unioned together with a compile-time-known type literal per branch — the
// type is known per branch even though it can vary per row across the whole
// statement, since each branch only ever touches one implementor's table).
// The difference here: those two functions only need `id` back (a
// standalone DML's own default RETURNING shape), while a DML-as-CTE source
// must expose whatever columns the *outer* SELECT might project — so this
// returns the interface's full common column set (poly_columns: every
// property + link FK the type declares, guaranteed present on every
// implementor table) instead of just id.
//
// Not handled: a multi-link mutation (+=/-=/:=) on the interface's own
// pointer combined with poly_implementors on the same statement — that
// would need per-implementor junction-table CTEs too, which
// emit_update_multilink_ctes doesn't do either today. Callers check
// update_has_any_multilink first and keep routing that (rarer) combination
// through the existing (equally not-poly-aware) path rather than silently
// mishandling it here.
