   If <em class="parameter"><code>colname</code></em> refers to a system column (e.g.,
   <code class="literal">ctid</code>) then the appropriate negative column number will
   be returned.  The caller should be careful to test the return value
   for exact equality to <code class="symbol">SPI_ERROR_NOATTRIBUTE</code> to
   detect an error; testing the result for less than or equal to 0 is
   not correct unless system columns should be rejected.
