fastgetattr() is called from a HUNDREDS places - I'm not sure that
this is good idea.

I suggest to inline _entire_ body of this func in the 
execQual.c:ExecEvalVar() - Executor uses _only_ ExecEvalVar() to get
data from tuples.

(We could #define FASTGETATTR macro and re-write fastgetattr() as just
this macro "call".)

I don't know should we follow the same way for fastgetiattr() or not...
