Well, I would need to tweak the new code again, moving it from
heaptuple.c to htup_details.h as a STATIC_IF_INLINE function; and
furthermore I have noticed that if I modify the code in minmax, I can
have it do one more thing that I would need to do outside of it anyway.
(These tuples have two null bitmaps; I would have to decode the second
one separately. Doing it inside the new "deform" variant is much
easier.)
