Description

Many locations in the code base already support structured types. The runtime treats them as row types. However, some final work is needed to support structured types though the stack. We start with inline structured types. Registered structured types in catalog are covered in a different issue.

Inline structured types are a prerequisite to enable aggregate functions in FLIP-65 again.
