Yeah, I remember that.  Is there any progress on that front?

BTW I noticed that I was a bit careless in the description.  rewriteheap
already has its own rewriteheap.h file; and there's no point at all in
separating pruneheap.c declarations into another file.

The one that makes a bit more sense is a new syncscan.h.  And there are
a lot of things in heapam.h that actually correspond to tuple
manipulation (heap_form_tuple and so on), so perhaps a new header file
would be appropriate, but there's already htup.h which contains
tuple-related stuff.
