Well, actually, it's looking to me like heap_form_tuple will be
underneath the API cut, because alternate storage managers will probably
have other tuple storage formats --- column stores being the poster
child here, but in any case the tuple header format is very unlikely
to be universal.

Hopefully we would allow multiple storage managers to be active at once, one per table?
