While looking at Peter's INSERT ... ON CONFLICT patch, I started to feel that ExecInsertIndexTuples() and friends would deserve a file of their own, and not be buried in the middle of execUtils.c. I propose that we split execUtils.c into two, moving ExecOpenIndices(), ExecCloseIndices() ExecInsertIndexTuples() and related functions into a new file called executor/execIndexing.c.

Moving functions makes backpatching harder, so it's not something to be done lightly, but I think it would be worth it in this case. There have been few changes to those functions in years, so I doubt they'll need much backpatching in the near future either.

For comparison, this is what the file sizes of executor/exec*.c will look like after the split:

-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki  14710 Apr 22 09:07 execAmi.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki   9711 Apr 22 09:07 execCurrent.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki  16659 Apr 22 09:07 execGrouping.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki  16023 Apr 23 21:57 execIndexing.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki   8276 Apr 22 09:07 execJunk.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki  80102 Apr 22 09:07 execMain.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki  18694 Apr 22 09:07 execProcnode.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki 160700 Apr 22 09:07 execQual.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki   9957 Apr 22 09:07 execScan.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki  37796 Apr 22 09:07 execTuples.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 heikki heikki  28004 Apr 23 21:50 execUtils.c

Any objections? I'm planning to do this as a separate commit, before the INSERT ... ON CONFLICT patch goes in.

- Heikki
