Re: [COMMITTERS] pgsql: Implement prefetching via posix_fadvise() for bitmap index scans.

I sent a message describing where I was headed with the code and my  
misgivings with Tom's concerns. I haven't seen any responses.

Hmmm. I can't find my message however so now I'm wondering if it ever  
hit the lists.
