No, I didn't see the README file. Thanks so much for the info, Michael!

Have you seen README.pgstattuple? Here's an excerpt:
table_len -- physical table length in bytes
tuple_count -- number of live tuples
tuple_len -- total tuples length in bytes
tuple_percent -- live tuples in %
dead_tuple_len -- total dead tuples length in bytes
dead_tuple_percent -- dead tuples in %
free_space -- free space in bytes
free_percent -- free space in %
It can be educational to create a table to play with and watch
pgstattuple's output change depending on what you do (insert, update,
delete, vacuum, etc.).

Tuple, row, and record are generally used synonymously; tuple seems
to be the more common term in discussions of theory. If that's too
broad a generalization then maybe somebody will provide a more
precise explanation.
