I'm not sure whether that applies here? I'm interested in how *this*
patch will work, not in more generic algorithm theory.

To patch authors: Can we please see a table showing expected number of
logical I/Os (i,e, block accesses) for btrees and hash indexes

e.g. for 100-byte rows...

rows    btree           hash
----    -----           ----
10^2
10^3
10^4
10^5
10^6
10^7
10^8
