OK, I agree with that. Straightforward change. Thanks very much.

I marked the comment to indicate that the handling for GIST and GIN
indexes looked dubious to me also. I had the earlier "it is safe"
comments but that was before we looked at the kill prior tuples issue.

Re-reading code for GIN also, I note that there isn't any further work
because we don't kill prior tuples ever. Also, there is no special
handling of the GIN b-tree posting tree because VACUUM scans that in
logical sequence, rather than the physical sequence in nbtree.
