>   invalidated if anyone modifies the table.  Another idea is to

>   Currently indexes do not have enough tuple tuple visibility
>   information to allow data to be pulled from the index without
>   also accessing the heap.  One way to allow this is to set a bit
>   to index tuples to indicate if a tuple is currently visible to
>   all transactions when the first valid heap lookup happens.  This
>   bit would have to be cleared when a heap tuple is expired.
