While we are griping about readability: failure to update the comments
to match the code is NOT, NOT, NOT acceptable.  I had barely started
to read the patch before encountering this insult to the reader:    /* Hash indexes are never lossy (at the moment
anyway)*/
 
-    scan->xs_recheck = false;
+#ifdef HASHVALUE_ONLY
+    scan->xs_recheck = true;
+#else
+    scan->xs_recheck = false;
+#endif

The fact that the patch doesn't touch backend/access/hash/README is
already grounds for rejection, but can't you be bothered to fix a
comment that is literally one line away from where you are making
it wrong?
