We have also stuff like ruleutils.c, dbsize.c, genfile.c there which
is rather generic, so I would rather leave utils/mmgr/ out of the
business of this thread, and just keep inside all the lower-level APIs
for memory context handling. I don't have a strong feeling for one
being better than the other, so if you prefer more one way than the
other, that's fine by me as long as the split is done as the new
functions depend on nothing static in mcxt.c. And you are the
committer of this feature.

FWIW, I usually choose what's proposed in the patch as a matter of
consistency, because it is a no-brainer and because you don't have to
think about past references when it comes to structures or such.
