 *
 * createas.c
 *    Execution of CREATE TABLE ... AS, a/k/a SELECT INTO.
 *    Since CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW shares syntax and most behaviors,
 *    we implement that here, too.
 *
 * We implement this by diverting the query's normal output to a
 * specialized DestReceiver type.
 *
 * Formerly, CTAS was implemented as a variant of SELECT, which led
 * to assorted legacy behaviors that we still try to preserve, notably that
 * we must return a tuples-processed count in the QueryCompletion.  (We no
 * longer do that for CTAS ... WITH NO DATA, however.)
