Here are the more formal patches for HEAD and for v18.

In the HEAD patch, I renamed strip_phvs_in_index_operand() to
strip_noop_phvs() and moved it from indxpath.c to placeholder.c, since
it is now a general-purpose utility used by both index matching and
partition pruning code.

However, since strip_phvs_in_index_operand() is an extern function
declared in a public header, I'm worried that third-party extensions
may have started calling it after it was introduced in ad66f705f.  So
for the v18 back-patch, I retained strip_phvs_in_index_operand() in
indxpath.c as a thin wrapper around the new strip_noop_phvs(), to
avoid breaking such extensions in a minor release.

Does this seem like reasonable caution, or is it overkill given how
recently the function was introduced?
