I suspect that this is a *really* bad idea. It's very very hard to get inplace
updates right. We have several unfixed correctness bugs that are related to
the use of inplace updates. I really don't think it's wise to add additional
interfaces that can reach inplace updates unless there's really no other
alternative (like not being able to assign an xid in VACUUM to be able to deal
with anti-xid-wraparound-shutdown systems).
