I tried to give this a read. It looks pretty neat stuff -- as far as I
can tell, it follows Robert's sketch for how this should work. The fact
that it's under-commented makes me unable to follow it too closely
though (I felt like adding a few "wtf?" comments here and there), so
it's taking me a bit to follow things in detail. Please do submit
improved versions as you have them.

I think you're using an old version of pg_bsd_indent.

In particular need of commentary
* match_clause_to_partition_key() should indicate which params are
output and what do they get

* get_steps_using_prefix already has a comment, but it doesn't really
explain much. (I'm not sure why you use the term "tuple" here. I mean,
mathematically it probably makes sense, but in the overall context it
seems just confusing.)
