Here are examples using a version under development, where "Bitmap Memory Usage" means (peak) memory space used by a TIDBitmap, and "Desired" means the memory required to guarantee non-lossy storage of a TID set, which is shown only when the TIDBitmap has been lossified. (work_mem = 1MB.)

I'd be wary of showing a desired value unless it's highly likely to be accurate.
