Обсуждение: ClonedConstraint typedef is dead code?

catalog/pg_constraint.h defines a typedef ClonedConstraint,
which AFAICS is no longer referenced anywhere.  Is there a
reason not to remove it?

(I noticed this while eyeballing a test pgindent run.)

Oh, I didn't realize it had become completely unused!  It was used for
FK creation in partitioned tables, but we rewrote that code completely
and I don't foresee needing that struct for anything in the future, so
it seems safe to remove.

Thanks,
