/*
 * node_size is the size of an extensible node of this type in bytes.
 *
 * nodeCopy is a function which performs a deep copy from oldnode to newnode.
 * It does not need to copy type or extnodename, which are copied by the
 * core system.
 *
 * nodeEqual is a function which performs a deep equality comparison between
 * a and b and returns true or false accordingly.  It does not need to compare
 * type or extnodename, which are compared by the core system.
 *
 * nodeOut is a serialization function for the node type.  It should use the
 * output conventions typical for outfuncs.c.  It does not need to output
 * type or extnodename; the core system handles those.
 *
 * nodeRead is a deserialization function for the node type.  It does not need
 * to read type or extnodename; the core system handles those.  It should fetch
 * the next token using pg_strtok() from the current input stream, and then
 * reconstruct the private fields according to the manner in readfuncs.c.
 *
 * All callbacks are mandatory.
