FWIW, while I don't love the way the header parsing stuff in the patch (vs
using libclang or such), I don't have a real problem with it.

I do however not think it's a good idea to commit something generating
something like the existing node functions vs going for a metadata based
approach at dealing with node functions. That aspect of my patchset is
independent of the libclang vs script debate.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
