Works for me.  We could create another function, "verify_heapam_full" perhaps, that returns additional columns matching
thosefrom pageinspect's heap_page_items(): 

    OUT lp smallint,
    OUT lp_off smallint,
    OUT lp_flags smallint,
    OUT lp_len smallint,
    OUT t_xmin xid,
    OUT t_xmax xid,
    OUT t_field3 int4,
    OUT t_ctid tid,
    OUT t_infomask2 integer,
    OUT t_infomask integer,
    OUT t_hoff smallint,
    OUT t_bits text,
    OUT t_oid oid,
    OUT t_data bytea

Should it also return the full page?  That would be quite verbose (an extra 8k per row), but it could be fed into any
ofpageinspect's functions for further analysis.
