Thanks for checking.

I have just pushed a slightly modified version of that.

Here's another version.

This time, I have another fixup patch (0001) to make FastPathMeta
self-contained by copying the FmgrInfo structs it needs out of
RI_CompareHashEntry rather than storing pointers into it. This avoids
any dependency on those cache entries remaining stable. I'll push
that once the just committed patch has seen enough BF animals.

0002 is rebased over that.
