/*
 * TableFuncRoutine holds function pointers used for generating content of
 * table-producer functions, such as XMLTABLE.
 *
 * InitOpaque initializes table builder private objects.  The output tuple
 * descriptor, input functions for the columns, and typioparams are passed
 * from executor state.
 *
 * SetDocument is called to define the input document.  The table builder may
 * apply additional transformations not exposed outside the table builder
 * context.
 *
 * SetNamespace is called to pass namespace declarations from the table
 * expression.  This function may be NULL if namespaces are not supported by
 * the table builder.  Namespaces must be given before setting the row and
 * column filters.  If the name is given as NULL, the entry shall be for the
 * default namespace.
 *
 * SetRowFilter is called do define the row-generating filter, which shall be
 * used to extract each row from the input document.
 *
 * SetColumnFilter is called once for each column, to define the column-
 * generating filter for the given column.
 *
 * FetchRow shall be called repeatedly until it returns that no more rows are
 * found in the document.  On each invocation it shall set state in the table
 * builder context such that each subsequent GetValue call returns the values
 * for the indicated column for the row being processed.
 *
 * DestroyOpaque shall release all resources associated with a table builder
 * context.  It may be called either because all rows have been consumed, or
 * because an error occurred while processing the table expression.
