Like Alvaro, I would discard this one for now.

But not this one. So committed. I have gone through the patch and
adjusted a couple of things in the tests, the docs with weird
formulations and an example leading mainly to NULLs returned when
scanning the first page of pg_class. The tests needed some
improvements to gain in clarity (no need for unnest with 2 elements,
added tests for all the combined flags, etc.). The patch was not
indented either but this is no big deal.

I hope I forgot to credit nobody in the commit message. If that's the
case, you are the winner of a drink of your choice the next time we
meet.
