I should point out that I am relying on deterministic TOAST
compression within index_form_tuple() at present. This could, in
theory, become a problem later down the road, when
toast_compress_datum() compression becomes configurable via a storage
parameter or something (e.g., we use PGLZ_strategy_always, rather than
the hard coded PGLZ_strategy_default strategy).
While I should definitely have a comment above the new amcheck
index_form_tuple() call that points this out, it's not clear if that's
all that is required. Normalizing the representation of hashed index
tuples to make verification robust against unforeseen variation in
TOAST compression strategy seems like needless complexity to me, but
I'd like to hear a second opinion on that.
