Thanks. Robert, do you have any concerns with this?
+select * from pgstattuple('serial');
+ table_len | tuple_count | tuple_len | tuple_percent | dead_tuple_count |
dead_tuple_len | dead_tuple_percent | free_space | free_percent
+-----------+-------------+-----------+---------------+------------------+----------------+--------------------+------------+--------------
+ 8192 | 1 | 41 | 0.5 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 8104 | 98.93
+(1 row)
I'm concerned that some of this might be platform-dependent and make the
test unstable. Perhaps we should just select count(*) here.
+ /**

I think we should be a bit more descriptive here, like the comment in
verify_heapam.c:
/*
* Sequences always use heap AM, but they don't show that in the
catalogs.
* Other relkinds might be using a different AM, so check.
*/
