Cool. I have been honestly wondering about deploying this tool as well
to allow some of the QE tests to perform live checks of btree indexes
as we use a bunch of them. By the way, I have not looked at the patch,
but this supports just btree, right? Wouldn't btree_check be a better
name, or do you think that the interface you provide is generic enough
that it could be extended in the future for gin, gist, etc.?
