Not really.

After pondering this some more, I decided to call the new file
src/include/partition/partbounds.h; and the other new file will become
src/include/partition/partprune.h. This leads naturally to the idea
that PartitionBoundInfoData will be in partbounds.h. However, the
typedef struct PartitionBoundInfoData *PartitionBoundInfo will have to
remain in catalog/partition.h, at least for the time being.

Yes.

True -- both exported.
