I'm kind of sad that we lost - /* - * TAGS FOR RANDOM OTHER STUFF - * - * These are objects that aren't part of parse/plan/execute node tree - * structures, but we give them NodeTags anyway for identification - * purposes (usually because they are involved in APIs where we want to - * pass multiple object types through the same pointer). - */ Not quite sure where that info should be put now. Maybe nodes/README could get another para that explains what types of objects get treated as Nodes? regards, tom lane
