 * RawParseMode determines the form of the string that raw_parser() accepts:
 *
 * RAW_PARSE_DEFAULT: parse a semicolon-separated list of SQL commands,
 * and return a List of RawStmt nodes.
 *
 * RAW_PARSE_TYPE_NAME: parse a type name, and return a one-element List
 * containing a TypeName node.
 *
 * RAW_PARSE_PLPGSQL_EXPR: parse a PL/pgSQL expression, and return
 * a one-element List containing a RawStmt node.
 *
 * RAW_PARSE_PLPGSQL_ASSIGNn: parse a PL/pgSQL assignment statement,
 * and return a one-element List containing a RawStmt node.  "n"
 * gives the number of dotted names comprising the target ColumnRef.
