How is this intended to work?

pg_checksums enumerate the files. What if there are files there from a different tableam? Isn't pg_checksums just going to badly fail then, since it assumes everything is heap?

Also, do we allow AMs that don't support checksumming data? Do we have any checks for tables created with such AMs in a system that has checksums enabled?
