Please see previous discussions about per-column toasting parameters,
for instance
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-08/msg00082.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-08/msg01129.php

I think the general consensus was that we want more flexible access to
the compression knobs than just another STORAGE setting.
