/**
 * @file compatibility.c
 * @brief Backport implementations for missing PostgreSQL API functions.
 *
 * Provides implementations of functions that do not exist in older
 * PostgreSQL versions but are declared in @c compatibility.h.
 *
 * Currently provides:
 * - @c list_insert_nth() for PostgreSQL < 13, where the linked-list-based
 *   @c List implementation did not include this helper.
