The recent discussion on the proposed HOT scheme has reminded me of a 
question I meant to ask about TOASTing when it was introduced back in 7.1(?)

If I have a table something like: (id, status, big_text) and just update 
the "status" column on a row, do I have two copies of "big_text" TOASTED 
or are they shared?
