 * Resdom (Result Domain)
 *
 * 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 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.

 * reflowerindexpr must be the same length as refupperindexpr when it
 * is not NIL.
 *
 * Note: array types can be fixed-length (refattrlength > 0), but only

 * varlena structures and have refattrlength = -1.	In any case,
 * an array type is never pass-by-value.

 * SubLink
 *
 * A SubLink represents a subselect appearing in an expression, and in some

 * 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.
 *
 * SubLink is classed as an Expr node, but it is not actually executable;
 * it must be replaced in the expression tree by a SubPlan node during
 * planning.
 *
 * NOTE: in the raw output of gram.y, lefthand contains a list of raw
 * expressions; useOr and operOids are not filled in yet.  Also, subselect
 * is a raw parsetree.  During parse analysis, the parser transforms the
 * lefthand expression list using normal expression transformation rules.
 * It fills operOids with the OIDs representing the specific operator(s)
 * to apply to each pair of lefthand and targetlist expressions.
 * And subselect is transformed to a Query.  This is the representation
 * seen in saved rules and in the rewriter.
 *
 * In EXISTS and EXPR SubLinks, lefthand, operName, and operOids are unused
 * and are always NIL.  useOr is not significant either for these sublink
 * types.

 * SubPlan - executable expression node for a subplan (sub-SELECT)

 * expressions are part of the outer plan's expression tree (and the SubPlan

 *

 * and out of the subplan.  Input values are represented as a list "args" of

 *					node types for join trees
 *
 * The leaves of a join tree structure are RangeTblRef nodes.  Above

 * may have any number of child nodes, not just two.  Also, there is an
 * implementation-defined difference: the planner is allowed to join the
 * children of a FromExpr using whatever join order seems good to it.
 * At present, JoinExpr nodes are always joined in exactly the order
 * implied by the jointree structure (except the planner may choose to
 * swap inner and outer members of a join pair).
 *
 * NOTE: the top level of a Query's jointree is always a FromExpr.
 * Even if the jointree contains no rels, there will be a FromExpr.
 *
 * NOTE: the qualification expressions present in JoinExpr nodes are
 * *in addition to* the query's main WHERE clause, which appears as the
 * qual of the top-level FromExpr.	The reason for associating quals with
 * specific nodes in the jointree is that the position of a qual is critical
 * when outer joins are present.  (If we enforce a qual too soon or too late,
 * that may cause the outer join to produce the wrong set of NULL-extended
 * rows.)  If all joins are inner joins then all the qual positions are
 * semantically interchangeable.
 *
 * NOTE: in the raw output of gram.y, a join tree contains RangeVar,
 * RangeSubselect, and RangeFunction nodes, which are all replaced by
 * RangeTblRef nodes during the parse analysis phase.  Also, the top-level
 * FromExpr is added during parse analysis; the grammar regards FROM and
