 * We use lists of this struct type to keep track of both operators and
 * support functions while building or adding to an opclass or opfamily.
 * amadjustmembers functions receive lists of these structs, and are allowed
 * to alter their "ref" fields.
 *
 * The "ref" fields define how the pg_amop or pg_amproc entry should depend
 * on the associated objects (that is, which dependency type to use, and
 * which opclass or opfamily it should depend on).
 *
 * If ref_is_hard is true, the entry will have a NORMAL dependency on the
 * operator or support func, and an INTERNAL dependency on the opclass or
 * opfamily.  This forces the opclass or opfamily to be dropped if the
 * operator or support func is dropped, and requires the CASCADE option
 * to do so.  Nor will ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY DROP be allowed.  This is
 * the right behavior for objects that are essential to an opclass.
 *
 * If ref_is_hard is false, the entry will have an AUTO dependency on the
 * operator or support func, and also an AUTO dependency on the opclass or
 * opfamily.  This allows ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY DROP, and causes that to
 * happen automatically if the operator or support func is dropped.  This
 * is the right behavior for inessential ("loose") objects.
 *
 * We also make dependencies on lefttype/righttype, of the same strength as
 * the dependency on the operator or support func, unless these dependencies
 * are redundant with the dependency on the operator or support func.
