I don't think you necessarily want it for most MM solutions, but I agree
it will be useful for some scenarios.
I think the ReorderBufferChange struct needs a better way to distinguish
between old-key and old-tuple now, but I'd rather implement the
facililty for logging the full old tuple in a separate patch. The
patchset is big enough as is, lets not tack on more features.
