Assuming that adding some dedicated hooks in the core able to do
actions before and after a page modification occur is not *that*
costly (well I imagine that it is not acceptable in terms of
performance), could it be possible to get that in the shape of a
extension that could be used to test WAL record consistency? This may
be an idea to think about...
