?? Where does the above consideration come from ?

BTW there seems a misunderstanding about my posting.
I'm not objecting to add attisdropped pg_attribute column.
They are essentially the same and so I used macros
like COLUMN_IS_DROPPED in my implementation so that
I can easily change the implementation to use isdropped
pg_attribute column.
I'm only correcting the unfair valuation for my
trial work.
