There are a number of near matches in backend/optimizer/util/var.c,
but nothing that has exactly the API you probably want, which I'd think
would be to extract a bitmapset of the varattnos of level-zero Vars.
contain_var_reference() could be used repeatedly but that seems
tremendously inefficient. I'd suggest coding up some new function
using what's there for reference.
