I've found there is another risk of overestimating the desired memory space
for a BitmapAnded TIDBitmap. I'm inclined to get rid of the estimation
functionality from the patch completely, and leave it for future work.
Attached is a new version of the patch, which shows only fetch block
information and memory usage information. I'll add this to the upcoming CF.
