 *
 *	In general, this file should contain declarations that are widely needed
 *	in the backend environment, but are of no interest outside the backend.
 *
 *	Simple type definitions live in c.h, where they are shared with
 *	postgres_fe.h.  We do that since those type definitions are needed by
 *	frontend modules that want to deal with binary data transmission to or
 *	from the backend.  Type definitions in this file should be for
 *	representations that never escape the backend, such as Datum.
