Hi,

Thanks for these changes. I've merged a good chunk of them.

I thought it was better to fix the initialization for rs_cindex - any
reason you didn't go for that?

I don't understand why END_OF_VISIBILITY is good idea?  I now removed
END_OF_VISIBILITY, and the default case.

What's the point of adding materialization here?

I moved this into the storage engine, there just was a minor bug
preventing the already existing check from taking effect. I don't think
we should expose this kind of thing to the outside of the storage
engine.

Cool. I wonder if we should also somehow support SELECT INTO w/ USING?
You've apparently started to do so with?
