I think instead of updating this description in itemptr.h, you should
update it in htup_details.h where we already have a description of
t_ctid. After this patch, the t_ctid column value in heap_page_items
function will show it as InvalidBlockNumber and in the documentation,
we have given the reference of htup_details.h. Other than that the
latest version looks good to me.
I have marked this patch as RFC as this is a small change, hope you
can update the patch soon.
