There was some IRC conversation about this:
RhodiumToad | andres: ping?
RhodiumToad | n/m, sent mail
andres | RhodiumToad: IDK, there's a lot of other heap_getattr calls, and most of them don't go
| through GetTupleForTrigger(). So extensions need to be recompiled either way.

RhodiumToad | right, but those other calls were already broken.
RhodiumToad | whereas in a trigger, they'd have worked previously, but then break with your fix
Myon | the list of packages in Debian where heap_getattr appears is postgresql-11, pglogical,
| pgextwlist, citus, postgresql-plsh, wal2json, pg-cron, postgresql-rum
RhodiumToad | it's not an encouraged interface
I'm mildly disinclined to re-add the heap_expand_tuple, because it's not
the only case, and the extensions named above don't seem like they'd
specifically affected by the trigger path, but I'm not sure.
