I've been doing something similar with a modified
btreefuncs.c/bt_page_items() recently. The approach I've taken is
pretty grotty. It would be nice to have a reasonable way of doing
this, for both heap tuples and index tuples. (Relatedly,
bt_page_items() should probably have a bytea "data" field instead of a
text "data" field.)
