I definitely think thick indexes were too ambitious of a target for a
first time patch. Sequential index scans is very ambitious itself
despite being significantly simpler (if you have a solution which
works -- we haven't had one thus far).

Can you point me to the thread on "trailing nulls"? I think trimming
off any null columns from the ends of tuples when forming them should
be a cheap and easy optimization which just nobody's gotten around to
doing. If that's what you mean then I'm surprised you had any trouble
getting buy-in for it.
