Ah, I knew I must have been missing something.

Hm. I think we should change the way the strings are shortened - otherwise we
don't really verify much in that test. Perhaps we could just replace the long
repetitive strings with something shorter in the output?

E.g. using something like regexp_replace(data, '(1234567890|9876543210){200}', '\1{200}','g')
inside the substr().

Wonder if we should deduplicate the number of different toasted strings in the
file to something that'd allow us to have a single "redact_toast" function or
such. There's too many different ones to have a reasonbly simple redaction
function right now. But that's perhaps better done separately.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
