I wonder if we should just show the public fields in the docs? Something
like
typedef struct
{
...
TupleDesc tupdesc; /* row descriptor */
HeapTuple *vals; /* rows */
...
} SPITupleTable;
(The struct contains additional fields that should not be touched
by users of SPI.)
Not wedded to that, but it would reduce the risks of future mistakes
of this same sort.
