 *	  PostgreSQL tuple-id (TID) bitmap package
 *
 * This module provides bitmap data structures that are spiritually
 * similar to Bitmapsets, but are specially adapted to store sets of
 * tuple identifiers (TIDs), or ItemPointers.  In particular, the division
 * of an ItemPointer into BlockNumber and OffsetNumber is catered for.
 * Also, since we wish to be able to store very large tuple sets in
 * memory with this data structure, we support "lossy" storage, in which
 * we no longer remember individual tuple offsets on a page but only the
 * fact that a particular page needs to be visited.
