I would also have preferred to handle the nodeMergeAppend case using a
context pointer as you suggest, but Andres needs to store two pointers
in his heap nodes.
Andres: suppose we replace binaryheap_node with just a Datum, could you
live with storing a pointer to a struct with two pointers? If so, that
would address the concerns raised.
If not, maybe we should explore Robert's earlier suggestion to make
binaryheap_node user-definable (in effect).
