When there is a Set Returning Function emitting tuples.

When there is a query that accesses data using a direct TID,
e.g. WHERE ctid = '(5,12)'
this is most frequently found in calls made through the ODBC driver when
it uses its client-side implementation of updateable cursors. This is
only used these days when we have a multi-statement request, so is
mostly unused now.

Try src/backend/executor readme and code comments, plus the main docs
are reasonable. Documentation always welcome.
