I mean an interface that's friendly to DBAs, that verifies an entire database. No custom sql query required. Something that provides a reasonable mix of verification options based on high level directives. All verification methods can be combined in a granular, possibly randomized fashion. Maybe we can make this run in parallel.
For example, maybe your heap checker code sometimes does index probes for a subset of indexes and heap tuples. It's not hard to combine it with the rootdescend stuff from amcheck. It should be composable.
The interface you've chosen is a good starting point. But let's not miss an opportunity to make everything work together.
