Not much, honestly, the largest part being to document that properly
so as it could be used as a template:

Not so sure here. GUCs or reloptions could be used to control some of
the behaviors. Now this really depends on the use-cases we are
looking to support here and the low-level facilities that could
benefit from this module (dummy_index_am tests reloptions for
example). I agree that this thread is perhaps not enough to justify
adding this module for now.

Hard to say, we'll see. I'd like to believe that it could be a good
to not set something in stone for that forever.
