Thank you for pointing this thread. It's possible to cope this
downside to introduce GUC which would serve as default, when reloption
is not defined. But real downside is inability to truncate the heap.
So, options are good if they provide workaround for users, but that
shouldn't stop us from fixing issues around heap truncation.
