Current buffer you mean.  That wouldn't be a bad idea --- the wart I
added to genam.c the other day to recheck the current tuple could be
replaced with that, I think, though it wouldn't really be much less
warty.

BTW I think your change in pgstattuple.c is probably dangerous: if the
relation gets extended between where heap_beginscan_strat sets
rs_nblocks and where you put RelationGetNumberOfBlocks, I think the
block counting will get messed up.  That one really does need access
to the internals.

Other than that, this looks pretty sane to me.
