Hmm ... the adjacent comment about EndPlan is obsolete too, since
that function is now called ExecEndPlan.
I think the basic problem in both cases is that it didn't occur to us
to go looking for references to a static function in files other than
the one containing the static function.
More generally, though, it seems like the header comments in execTuples.c
are not the best place to document global behavior ...
