It took me a while to find the same for the heap access method. When I finally found them (via text search), it was a small surprise. Having different file organizations for different access methods gives me this urge to make everything consistent. I think it will make it easier for newcomers, and it will reduce the mental load for everyone to remember that heap replay is inside the heapam.c not some “???xlog.c”.
