Meh.  I think we'd agreed in another nearby thread that pageinspect
is exactly the sort of thing we don't want in core.  Even if it were
in core, I'm dubious that it's a good way to implement the desired
testing here: the risks of platform-dependent results (endianness,
varying numbers of tuples per page, etc etc) seem far too high.
