Thanks for catching that! I wasn't aware of this earlier.

> I think we should be a bit more descriptive here
Regarding the comment, I've tried to make it more
descriptive and simpler than the existing one in
verify_heapam.c. Here’s the comment I propose:

/*
* Sequences implicitly use the heap AM, even though it's not explicitly
* recorded in the catalogs. For other relation kinds, verify that the AM
* is heap; otherwise, raise an error.
*/

Please let me know if this still isn’t clear enough,
then I can make further revisions in line with verify_heapam.c.

The patch with all the changes is attached.
