Uh, I don't know about that, this code looks like it does partition
pruning specifically, and nothing else. How else do you think it
could be used?

It would be sensible to separate functions that build and manage data
in the relcache from other functions. I think we should consider
moving the existing functions of that type from partition.c to
src/backend/utils/cache/partcache.c.
