I've reattached the v4 patch since it just does the >= ERROR case.

I wonder if it is. I'm having trouble even seeing gains from the ERROR
case and I'm considering dropping this patch due to that.
I ran another scale=5 TPCH benchmark on v4 against f859c2ffa using gcc
9.3. I'm unable to see any gains with this, however, the results were
pretty noisy. I only ran pgbench for 60 seconds per query. I'll likely
need to run that a bit longer. I'll do that tonight.
It would be good if someone else could run some tests on their own
hardware to see if they can see any gains.
