I should have clarified a bit more on why I think a new function
looked unnecessary to me.  The thing about that function that bothered
me was that it appeared to duplicate a lot of code fragments of
get_partition_for_tuple().  That kind of duplication often leads to
bugs of omission later if something from either function needs to
change.
