Note that I have not gone through the entire thread at [1]. On some
initial study, that patch is proposing to allow different table AMs to
have custom rel options.

In the v2 patch that I sent upthread [2] for new table AMs has heap AM
multi insert code moved inside the new heap AM implementation and I
don't see any need of having rel options. In case, any other AMs want
to have the control for their multi insert API implementation via rel
options, I think the proposal at [1] can be useful.

IIUC, there's no dependency or anything as such for the new table AM
patch with the rel options thread [1]. If I'm right, can this new
table AM patch [2] be reviewed further?

Thoughts?
