I'm making some progress with this, but I notice what seems like a
missing feature: there needs to be a way to turn it off. Otherwise
performance comparisons will be difficult to impossible.
The most obvious solution is a planner control GUC, perhaps
"enable_indexonlyscan". Anyone object, or want to bikeshed the name?
