I've pushed an updated version, with a fair amount of pending changes,
and I hope all your pending (and not redundant, by our concurrent
development), patches merged.

There's currently 3 regression test failures, that I'll look into
tomorrow:
- partition_prune shows a few additional Heap Blocks: exact=1 lines. I'm
  a bit confused as to why, but haven't really investigated yet.
- fast_default fails, because I've undone most of 7636e5c60fea83a9f3c,
  I'll have to redo that in a different way.
- I occasionally see failures in aggregates.sql - I've not figured out
  what's going on there.

Amit Khandekar said he'll publish a new version of the slot-abstraction
patch tomorrow, so I'll rebase it onto that ASAP.

My next planned steps are a) to try to commit parts of the
slot-abstraction work b) to try to break out a few more pieces out of
the large pluggable storage patch.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
