Description:

I belive index only scan can return tuple direct, it's not need to scan
heappage, why it's startup_cost equal to index scan?
I'ts a bug?

The TEST below:
digoal=# create table t11(id int primary key, info text);
CREATE TABLE
digoal=# insert into t11 select generate_series(1,100000),'test';
INSERT 0 100000
digoal=# explain select * from t11 where id=1;
                             QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 Index Scan using t11_pkey on t11  (cost=0.29..4.31 rows=1 width=9)
   Index Cond: (id = 1)
(2 rows)

digoal=# explain select id from t11 where id=1;
                               QUERY PLAN
