If someone thinks of a brilliant solution that doesn't change on-disk
layout, maybe we could implement it in 8.2.x, but right now I'm not
feeling hopeful about that.
The best idea I have at the moment is that we might be able to do
something as part of the proposed plan to fold cmin/cmax into a single
field. The thought there was that there could be some in-memory state
for tuples that had been modified multiple times by a single xact ---
perhaps that could be extended to cover this problem. This is just
handwaving at the moment though. In particular, is-the-tuple-locked-or-not
seems like it has to be externally visible state, so maybe it can't work.
