The actual bug in this patch needs to be fixed, but I see we have
another open item for that.  This open item, as I understand it, is
all about whether we should add another reloption so that you can
control this behavior separately for TOAST tables.  In my opinion,
that's not a critical change and the open item should be dropped, but
others might see it differently.
