Thanks. I just read those meeting notes, and also Josh Berkus' blog on the
topic:
http://www.databasesoup.com/2013/05/postgresql-new-development-priorities-2.html

I was only thinking to enable pluggable operations on a single, specified
heap page, probably as a function of which table owned the page. Josh's
blog seems to describe something a little broader in scope, although I
can't tell from that post exactly what functionality that entails.

Either way, this sounds like something I'd enjoy pitching in on, to
whatever extent I could be useful. Has anyone started work on this yet?
