- The <structfield>adsrc</structfield> field is historical, and is best
- not used, because it does not track outside changes that might affect
- the representation of the default value. Reverse-compiling the
- <structfield>adbin</structfield> field (with <function>pg_get_expr</function> for
- example) is a better way to display the default value.
