Search on "B-Tree Organized Tables".

From what I can find, this feature isn't prohibitively useless.  It's just a
singnificant amount of effort for a result which is a tradeoff.   That is,
you'd *only* want to use it on tables which are *always* accessed by their
primary key.

What stopped the features AFAICT is that the interested parties weren't up to
doing the code.
