Hmm, tough call now that I look it up. This macro depends on
ResultRelInfo and EState, both of which are in execnodes.h, and also on
rt_fetch which is in parsetree.h. There is no existing header that
includes parsetree.h (only .c files), so we would have to add one
inclusion on some other header file, or create a new header with just
this definition. None of these sounds real satisfactory (including
parsetree.h in execnodes.h sounds very bad). Maybe just add a comment
on both definitions to note that they are dupes of each other? That
would be more backpatchable that anything else that occurs to me right
away.
