Thank you for the enhancement. Now Index Only Scans over Append-Only tables
in Postgres can be implemented, even if it requires manual kicking of
VACUUM over large table, and that's a great enhancement for moving object
databases. :)

My eye catches another thing, the error message in tests is:

DETAIL: Valid values are between "0.000000" and
"179769313486231570814527423731704356798070567525844996598917476803157260780028538760589558632766878171540458953514382464234321326889464182768467546703537516986049910576551282076245490090389328944075868508455133942304583236903222948165808559332123348274797826204144723168738177180919299881250404026184124858368.000000".

a) do we really need to print digits of dblmax? "Valid values are double
precision, non-negative"?
b) double precision binary-to-decimal noise starts at 16th digit. Why does
it stop at the point, and we have precise ".000000"? Does it bite the
conversion somewhere else too?
