I just looked at 0002 because of Justin Pryzby's comment in the column
filtering thread, and realized that the pgoutput row filtering has a
very strange API, which receives both heap tuples and slots; and we seem
to convert to and from slots in seemingly unprincipled ways.  I don't
think this is going to fly.  I think it's OK for the initial entry into
pgoutput to be HeapTuple (but only because that's what
ReorderBufferTupleBuf has), but it should be converted a slot right when
it enters pgoutput, and then used as a slot throughout.

I think this is mostly sensible in 0001 (which was evidently developed
earlier), but 0002 makes a nonsensical change to the API, with poor
results.

(This is one of the reasons I've been saying that there patches should
be squashed together -- so that we can see that the overall API
transformation we're making are sensible.)
