Hi David.

Thanks for the review.

(..also looking at the comments you sent earlier today.)

It seems like you included the above changes in your attached C file,
which I will incorporate into my repository.

Will make the suggested changes to match_clauses_to_partkey().

Agreed, will do.  Also makes sense to move the PartCollMatchesExprColl()
test together.

You fixed it. :)

Thanks a lot for that.  Looks much better now.

As mentioned at the top, I'm looking at your latest comments and they all
seem to be good points to me, so will address those in the next version.

Thanks,
