 * Resdom (Result Domain)
 *		resno			- attribute number
 *		restype			- type of the value
 *		restypmod		- type-specific modifier of the value
 *		resname			- name of the resdom (could be NULL)
 *		ressortgroupref - nonzero if referenced by a sort/group clause
 *		reskey			- order of key in a sort (for those > 0)
 *		reskeyop		- sort operator's regproc Oid
 *		resjunk			- set to true to eliminate the attribute
 *						  from final target list
 *
 * Notes:
 * ressortgroupref is the parse/plan-time representation of ORDER BY and
 * GROUP BY items.	Targetlist entries with ressortgroupref=0 are not
 * sort/group items.  If ressortgroupref>0, then this item is an ORDER BY or
 * GROUP BY value.	No two entries in a targetlist may have the same nonzero
 * ressortgroupref --- but there is no particular meaning to the nonzero
 * values, except as tags.	(For example, one must not assume that lower
 * ressortgroupref means a more significant sort key.)	The order of the
 * associated SortClause or GroupClause lists determine the semantics.
 *
 * reskey and reskeyop are the execution-time representation of sorting.
 * reskey must be zero in any non-sort-key item.  The reskey of sort key
 * targetlist items for a sort plan node is 1,2,...,n for the n sort keys.
 * The reskeyop of each such targetlist item is the sort operator's
 * regproc OID.  reskeyop will be zero in non-sort-key items.
 *
 * Both reskey and reskeyop are typically zero during parse/plan stages.
 * The executor does not pay any attention to ressortgroupref.

 *		lefthand		- list of outer-query expressions on the left
 *		oper			- list of Oper nodes for combining operators
 *		subselect		- subselect as Query* or parsetree
 *
 * A SubLink represents a subselect appearing in an expression, and in some
 * cases also the combining operator(s) just above it.	The subLinkType
 * indicates the form of the expression represented:
 *	EXISTS_SUBLINK		EXISTS(SELECT ...)
 *	ALL_SUBLINK			(lefthand) op ALL (SELECT ...)
 *	ANY_SUBLINK			(lefthand) op ANY (SELECT ...)
 *	MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK	(lefthand) op (SELECT ...)
 *	EXPR_SUBLINK		(SELECT with single targetlist item ...)
 * For ALL, ANY, and MULTIEXPR, the lefthand is a list of expressions of the
 * same length as the subselect's targetlist.  MULTIEXPR will *always* have
 * a list with more than one entry; if the subselect has just one target
 * then the parser will create an EXPR_SUBLINK instead (and any operator
 * above the subselect will be represented separately).  Note that both
 * MULTIEXPR and EXPR require the subselect to deliver only one row.
 * ALL, ANY, and MULTIEXPR require the combining operators to deliver boolean
 * results.  These are reduced to one result per row using OR or AND semantics
 * depending on the "useor" flag.  ALL and ANY combine the per-row results
 * using AND and OR semantics respectively.
 *
 * NOTE: lefthand and oper have varying meanings depending on where you look
 * in the parse/plan pipeline:
 * 1. gram.y delivers a list of the (untransformed) lefthand expressions in
 *	  lefthand, and sets oper to a single A_Expr (not a list!) containing
 *	  the string name of the operator, but no arguments.
 * 2. The parser's expression transformation transforms lefthand normally,
 *	  and replaces oper with a list of Oper nodes, one per lefthand
 *	  expression.  These nodes represent the parser's resolution of exactly
 *	  which operator to apply to each pair of lefthand and targetlist
 *	  expressions.	However, we have not constructed actual Expr trees for
 *	  these operators yet.	This is the representation seen in saved rules
 *	  and in the rewriter.
 * 3. Finally, the planner converts the oper list to a list of normal Expr
 *	  nodes representing the application of the operator(s) to the lefthand
 *	  expressions and values from the inner targetlist.  The inner
 *	  targetlist items are represented by placeholder Param or Const nodes.
 *	  The lefthand field is set to NIL, since its expressions are now in
 *	  the Expr list.  This representation is passed to the executor.
 *
 * Planner routines that might see either representation 2 or 3 can tell
 * the difference by checking whether lefthand is NIL or not.  Also,
 * representation 2 appears in a "bare" SubLink, while representation 3 is
 * found in SubLinks that are children of SubPlan nodes.
 *
 * In EXISTS and EXPR SubLinks, both lefthand and oper are unused and are
 * always NIL.	useor is not significant either for these sublink types.

 *
 * An ArrayRef can describe fetching a single element from an array,
 * fetching a subarray (array slice), storing a single element into
 * an array, or storing a slice.  The "store" cases work with an
 * initial array value and a source value that is inserted into the

 *		refelembyval	- is the element type pass-by-value?
 *		refupperindexpr - expressions that evaluate to upper array indexes
 *		reflowerindexpr - expressions that evaluate to lower array indexes
 *		refexpr			- the expression that evaluates to an array value
 *		refassgnexpr	- expression for the source value, or NULL if fetch
 *
 * If reflowerindexpr = NIL, then we are fetching or storing a single array
 * element at the subscripts given by refupperindexpr.	Otherwise we are
 * fetching or storing an array slice, that is a rectangular subarray
 * with lower and upper bounds given by the index expressions.
 * reflowerindexpr must be the same length as refupperindexpr when it
 * is not NIL.
 *
 * Note: array types can be fixed-length (refattrlength > 0), but only
 * when the element type is itself fixed-length.  Otherwise they are
 * varlena structures and have refattrlength = -1.	In any case,
 * an array type is never pass-by-value.
 *
 * Note: currently, refelemtype is NOT the element type, but the array type,
