* [PATCH v3] Introduce ternary reloptions

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-01-16 15:04 UTC (permalink / raw)

Introduce ternary reloption as a replacement for current
`vacuum_truncate` implementation. Remove the `vacuum_truncate_set`
separate flag and use TERNARY_UNSET instead.

This could also be used for other options such as `vacuum_index_cleanup`
and `buffering`, but lets get the scaffolding in first.

Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3474141.usfYGdeWWP@thinkpad-pgpro
