I also think there could be a TODO item in it. If vacuum instead of removing 
items, somehow stashed them away in a storage limited archive it would be 
possible to do a SELECT...AS OF TIMESTAMP.

The idea is of course to be able to retrieve rows that really are deleted, but 
are still on disk as non-vacuumed or vacuumed and not removed completely. And 
it would also take a 2. stage vacuumer to keep the storage within its limits.

I don't say it's an important feature, but it would come in handy for people 
who really really need it. And perhaps a developer wouldn't mind scratching 
this itch some time in the future.
