Eh, I was just writing email with my rewrite :)
I'll do review of this instead then.
The only major difference that I see so far and I'd like you to
incorporate that into your patch is that I renamed the SampleScanCost to
SampleScanGetRelSize because that reflects much better the use of it, it
isn't really used for costing, but for getting the pages and tuples of
the baserel.
