Both Andrew and Robert have asserted without proof that it'd be useful
to be able to get at some of that data. Given the lack of any supporting
evidence, it's impossible to know which data needs to be exposed, and
that's why I find their statements insufficient. "Emulate 9.5's pg_am
exactly" is not in the cards, and short of that I'd like to see some
concrete reasons why we do or do not need to expose particular bits of
data.
