* Allow index scans to return matching index keys

We've done as much as we want to do of what that message suggests,
but it seems to have approximately zip to do with the actual description
of the TODO ...

Yea, I was pretty unclear exactly what the email was saying. I will
remove it.

You seem to have removed the whole TODO item. which is certainly
wrong. I was merely pointing out that that message didn't belong
under that TODO item.

Ah, OK, exactly what should the TODO item text be? Can you modify the
TODO? I don't understand the TODO text I had.

What I thought the TODO was about was extending the indexam API so that
the actual key values stored in the index could be retrieved (from
indexes that support this, which needn't be all of them). This would
allow non-indexable qual conditions to be checked on the index value
before visiting the heap. The canonical example is fully checking a
LIKE condition on the index key.

We've been discussing exactly this point over in the GIT-index thread...

Got it, TODO clarified:

* Allow index scans to return matching index keys, not just the matching
heap locations
