Is there any coordination between the "column filter" patch and the "row
filter" patch ?  Are they both on track for PG15 ?  Has anybody run them
together ?

Whichever patch is merged 2nd should include tests involving a subset of
columns along with a WHERE clause.

I have a suggestion: for the functions for which both patches are adding
additional argument types, define a filtering structure for both patches to
use.  Similar to what we did for some utility statements in a3dc92600.

I'm referring to:
logicalrep_write_update()
logicalrep_write_tuple()

That would avoid avoid some rebase conflicts on april 9, and avoid functions
with 7,8,9 arguments, and maybe simplify adding arguments in the future.
