* receives the actual datatype OID (this is mainly useful for scalar
* result types). If resultTupleDesc isn't NULL, *resultTupleDesc
* receives a pointer to a TupleDesc when the result is of a composite
* type, or NULL when it's a scalar result or the rowtype could not be
* determined. NB: the tupledesc should be copied if it is to be
* accessed over a long period.
* get_expr_result_type:
* Given an expression node, return the same info as for
* get_call_result_type. Note: the cases in which rowtypes cannot be
* determined are different from the cases for get_call_result_type.
* get_func_result_type:
* Given only a function's OID, return the same info as for
* get_call_result_type. Note: the cases in which rowtypes cannot be
* determined are different from the cases for get_call_result_type.

* be used in conjunction with C strings to produce a properly formed
* tuple.
* HeapTuple BuildTupleFromCStrings(AttInMetadata *attinmeta, char **values) -
* build a HeapTuple given user data in C string form. values is an array
* of C strings, one for each attribute of the return tuple.

* Macro declarations:
* HeapTupleGetDatum(HeapTuple tuple) - convert a HeapTuple to a Datum.

* Obsolete routines and macros:
* TupleDesc RelationNameGetTupleDesc(const char *relname) - Use to get a
* TupleDesc based on a named relation.
* TupleDesc TypeGetTupleDesc(Oid typeoid, List *colaliases) - Use to get a
* TupleDesc based on a type OID.
* TupleTableSlot *TupleDescGetSlot(TupleDesc tupdesc) - Builds a
* TupleTableSlot, which is not needed anymore.
* TupleGetDatum(TupleTableSlot *slot, HeapTuple tuple) - get a Datum
* given a tuple and a slot.
