Hmm.  I'd be a bit inclined to define such a file as "planner's
externally visible API", which would mean it should also include
planner() itself, and maybe also eval_const_expressions --- are
there external uses of that?

If we wanted to get rid of external uses of clauses.h, we'd probably
want to move some things like contain_mutable_functions() to nodeFuncs.c,
rather than put them into this hypothetical new header.
