So?  Barring some evidence that there's a significant performance win
from a conventional indexscan, this is a weak argument.  AFAICS the only
significant advantage of the conventional API is to support ordered
scans, and GIN doesn't do that anyway.
What about  SELECT ... AND EXISTS (SELECT ... t @@ query) ?
But I don't believe that is popular use-case. In most cases, GIN is used with bitmap scan. Your emails are so convincing and I'll remove support amgettuple interface in GIN.

Do you think we need to add new pg_am boolean option? Like pg_am.amcangettuple or pg_am.amcanpertuplescan
