Did you measure any performance improvement from that? I considered it
but thought it would likely be a wash or a loss, because in most cases
only one attribute will be pulled from a tuple during comparetup_heap.
slot_getattr cannot improve on heap_getattr in that case, and is quite
likely to be slower.

Drat, how'd I miss that? Thanks.
