Good point. I сonfused letters for views (virtual relations) and
materialized views (primary storage).
Should be:

"primary storage" - r, S, t, m. They store data and visibility information.
The only implementation is heapam.c
"secondary index" - i. They store some data and pointers to primary storage.
Various existing AMs and managed by AM API.
"virtual relations" - c, f, v. They have no physical storage, only entries
in caches and catalogs.
