 *	  Generalized tuple sorting routines.
 *
 * This module handles sorting of heap tuples, index tuples, or single
 * Datums (and could easily support other kinds of sortable objects,
 * if necessary).  It works efficiently for both small and large amounts
 * of data.  Small amounts are sorted in-memory using qsort().	Large
 * amounts are sorted using temporary files and a standard external sort
 * algorithm.

 * which means it doesn't preserve the "system columns" (tuple identity and
 * transaction visibility info).  The IndexTuple case does preserve all
 * the header fields of an index entry.  In the HeapTuple case we can
 * save some cycles by passing and returning the tuples in TupleTableSlots,
 * rather than forming actual HeapTuples (which'd have to be converted to
 * MinimalTuples).
 *
 * Yet a third slightly different interface supports sorting bare Datums.
