I think there should be a way to test WAL for one particular resource
manager. For example, if someone develops a new index or some other
heap storage, only that particular module can be verified. Generating
WAL for all the resource managers together can also serve the purpose,
but it will be slightly difficult to verify it.

Yeah, that can be better.
