Pushed this after making some small changes (removed some IMO unnecessary
comments, replaced <type>TID</type> with <acronym/>, as TID is not the type's
name, ...).

I was reminded of this thread while in the process of doing some performance
validation that required getting all the block numbers from an index scan,
which required me to remember (ctid::text::point)[0], which I find to be very
ugly.

Closed the CF entry.

Thanks for the patch!

Greetings,
