 * MemoryContext
 *		A logical context in which memory allocations occur.
 *
 * MemoryContext itself is an abstract type that can have multiple
 * implementations, though for now we have only AllocSetContext.
 * The function pointers in MemoryContextMethods define one specific
 * implementation of MemoryContext --- they are a virtual function table
 * in C++ terms.
 *
 * Node types that are actual implementations of memory contexts must
 * begin with the same fields as MemoryContext.
 *
 * Note: for largely historical reasons, typedef MemoryContext is a pointer
 * to the context struct rather than the struct type itself.
