+/*
+ * SplitGUCList --- parse a string containing identifiers or file names
+ *
+ * This is used to split the value of a GUC_LIST_QUOTE GUC variable, without
+ * presuming whether the elements will be taken as identifiers or file names.
+ * We assume the input has already been through flatten_set_variable_args(),
+ * so that we need never downcase (if appropriate, that was done already).
+ * Nor do we ever truncate, since we don't know the correct max length.
+ * We disallow embedded whitespace for simplicity (it shouldn't matter,
+ * because any embedded whitespace should have led to double-quoting).
+ * Otherwise the API is identical to SplitIdentifierString.
+ *
+ * XXX it's annoying to have so many copies of this string-splitting logic.
+ * However, it's not clear that having one function with a bunch of option
+ * flags would be much better.
+ *
+ * XXX there is a version of this function in src/bin/pg_dump/dumputils.c.
+ * Be sure to update that if you have to change this.
+ *
+ * Inputs:
+ *	rawstring: the input string; must be overwritable!	On return, it's
+ *			   been modified to contain the separated identifiers.
+ *	separator: the separator punctuation expected between identifiers
+ *			   (typically '.' or ',').  Whitespace may also appear around
+ *			   identifiers.
+ * Outputs:
+ *	namelist: filled with a palloc'd list of pointers to identifiers within
+ *			  rawstring.  Caller should list_free() this even on error return.
+ *
+ * Returns true if okay, false if there is a syntax error in the string.
