/*
 * In the implementation of these routines we assume the following:
 *
 * A) if a type is "byVal" then all the information is stored in the
 * Datum itself (i.e. no pointers involved!). In this case the
 * length of the type is always greater than zero and not more than
 * "sizeof(Datum)"
 *
 * B) if a type is not "byVal" and it has a fixed length (typlen > 0),
 * then the "Datum" always contains a pointer to a stream of bytes.
 * The number of significant bytes are always equal to the typlen.
 *
 * C) if a type is not "byVal" and has typlen == -1,
 * then the "Datum" always points to a "struct varlena".
 * This varlena structure has information about the actual length of this
 * particular instance of the type and about its value.
 *
 * D) if a type is not "byVal" and has typlen == -2,
 * then the "Datum" always points to a null-terminated C string.
 *
 * Note that we do not treat "toasted" datums specially; therefore what
 * will be copied or compared is the compressed data or toast reference.
 * An exception is made for datumCopy() of an expanded object, however,
 * because most callers expect to get a simple contiguous (and pfree'able)
 * result from datumCopy().  See also datumTransfer().
