So you coded my suggestion in an extremely awkward way just to be able
to dismiss it?

We use that pattern in a lot of places.  See get_op_opfamily_properties
for the first example I found (took my 15 secs to find it).  I don't
understand why you think it's so complicated or horrible.

Please tell me, why don't we just return Form_pg_amop in that function?
