 *      into the relevant section, or add new sections as appropriate.
 *
 *    section   description
 *    -------   ------------------------------------------------
 *      1)      variable-length datatypes (TOAST support)
 *      2)      datum type + support macros
 *      3)      exception handling backend support
 *
 *   NOTES
 *
 *  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 or
 *  TOASTed varlena objects.
