* Numeric type hasn't applicable left-most value, so NULL
* is used for that. NULL will never be an argument for a C-level
* numeric function except gin_numeric_cmp and it will not be stored
* somewhere and it could not be returned in any user SQL query.
* Numeric type hasn't a real left-most value, so we use PointerGetDatum(NULL)
* (*not* a SQL NULL) to represent that. We can get away with that because
* the value returned by our leftmostvalue function will never be stored in
* the index nor passed to anything except our compare and prefix-comparison
* functions. The same trick could be used for other pass-by-reference types.
