Sure, but watch me not care.
If we're interested in taking advantage of the internal
compressibility of tuples, we can do a lot better than this patch. We
can compress the old tuple and the new tuple. We can compress
full-page images. We can compress inserted tuples. But that's not
the point of this patch.
The point of *this* patch is to exploit the fact that the old and new
tuples are likely to be very similar, NOT to squeeze out every ounce
of compression from other sources.
