 * Attribute mapping structure
 *
 * This maps attribute numbers between a pair of relations, designated
 * 'input' and 'output' (most typically inheritance parent and child
 * relations), whose common columns may have different attribute numbers.
 * Such difference may arise due to the columns being ordered differently
 * in the two relations or the two relations having dropped columns at
 * different positions.
 *
 * 'maplen' is set to the number of attributes of the 'output' relation,
 * taking into account any of its dropped attributes, with the corresponding
 * elements of the 'attnums' array set to 0.
