Attached is an updated version of this patch series, rebased on top of
the opclass parameter patches, shared by Nikita a couple of days ago.
There's one extra fixup patch, addressing a bug in those patches.

Firstly, while I have some comments on the opclass parameters patches
(shared in the other thread), I think that patch series is moving in the
right direction. After rebase the code is somewhat simpler and easier to
read, which is good. I'm sure there's some more work needed on the APIs
and so on, but I'm optimistic about that.

The rest of this patch series (0007-0011) is mostly unchanged. I've
fixed a couple of bugs and added some comments (particularly to the
bloom opclass), but that's about it.
