Wouldn't a sequential scan on the heap table be the fastest way to find
keys, that need to be deleted ?
foreach tuple in heap that can be deleted do:foreach index call the current "index delete" with constructed key and
xtid
The advantage would be, that the current API would be sufficient and
it should be faster. The problem would be to create a correct key from the heap
tuple, that you can pass to the index delete function.
