Oh, that's not diff. That's I've fixed indent on the code I did not write :-)

Made it even more shorter. Just links and comments about representation of
t_bits.

Did id.

Did it.

Oops ;-)

Oh, you are right!

Oh... It crached because I did not check that t_data can actually be NULL.

There also was a bug in original pageinspect, that did not get t_bits right
when there was OID in the tuple. I've fixed it too.

Here is next patch in attachment.
