[HACKERS] MAIN, Uncompressed?

It looks like we need a new Column Storage option for MAIN, Uncompressed.

We have these Column Storage options
Plain - inline only, uncompressed
Main - inline until external as last resort, compressible
External - external, uncompressed
Extended - external, compressible

So there is no option for Main, but not compressible...

With reference to code... there seems to be no way to skip step 3

/* ----------* Compress and/or save external until data fits into target length**  1: Inline compress attributes with
attstorage'x', and store very*     large attributes with attstorage 'x' or 'e' external immediately*  2: Store
attributeswith attstorage 'x' or 'e' external*  3: Inline compress attributes with attstorage 'm'*  4: Store attributes
withattstorage 'm' external* ----------*/
 

Not sure what to call this new option? MAINU?

Objections?
