/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * execScan.c
 *	  This code provides support for generalized relation scans. ExecScan
 *	  is passed a node and a pointer to a function to "do the right thing"
 *	  and return a tuple from the relation. ExecScan then does the tedious
 *	  stuff - checking the qualification and projecting the tuple
 *	  appropriately.
