1. toasting for other varlena types

   Tom,
   
       AFAICS,   only  "text",  "lztext"  and  all  arrays  are  yet
       toastable.  Which of the other base types do we want to  have
       in 7.1?
   
       Who else is willing to contribute to this?

   All of the varlena ones ... although I'm wondering whether it's worth
   marking numeric as toastable or not.  A numeric probably can't get
   big enough to be worth toasting, no?
   
   I've been a little distracted by other issues but am still planning to
   turn the crank on the fmgr changes, and getting the rest of the varlena
   types done seems to be the number-one priority there.
