We can pass a flag say row_moved (or require_row_movement) to
heap_delete which will in turn set InvalidBlockId in ctid instead of
setting it to self. Then the ExecUpdate needs to check for the same
and return an error when heap_update is not successful (result !=
HeapTupleMayBeUpdated). Can you explain what difficulty are you
envisioning?
