Fujita-san, do you know of any FDWs that use this? I'm currently
converting the EPQ machinery to slots, and in course of that I (with
Horiguchi-san's help), converted RefetchForeignRow to return a slot. But
there's currently no in-core user of this facility... I guess I can
rebase the preliminary postgres_fdw patch here, but it bitrotted
significantly. I also feel like there should be some test coverage for
an API in a nontrivial part of the code...
