Not detailed enough, for me, by a long way. Your notes read like an
update for someone that's been following your work in detail up to this
point. I apologise that I have not been able to do that.

If I was going to write a module that used the facilities you are
providing, what would I need to know?
e.g. http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/indexam.html

Agreed. I don't have enough information to ask any. It's hard to write
simple and clear design specs but no harder than writing the code;
reading someone else's code to discover what it does is very hard (for
me).
