I finished digesting the thread and the referred presentations per
Matthias (cc:'ed) suggestion in [1] discussion. Although the patchset
got a fair amount of push-back above, I prefer to stay open minded and
invest some of my time into this effort as a tester/reviewer during
the July CF. Even if the patchset will not make it entirely to the
core, some of its parts can be useful.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to find something that can be applied
and tested. cfbot is currently not happy with the patchset.
0001_create_table_storage_v3.patch doesn't apply to the current
origin/master manually either:

```
error: patch failed: src/backend/parser/gram.y:2318
error: src/backend/parser/gram.y: patch does not apply
```

Any chance we can see a rebased patchset for the July CF?
