It seems like it might be reasonable to have a separate threshold for
compression from that for out-of-line storage.  Since I've been in
that code recently, I would be pretty comfortable doing something
about that; but, as is so often the case, the problem will probably be
getting agreement on what would be a good change.
 
Ignoring for a moment the fact that "low hanging fruit" in the form of
*very* large values can be handled first, the options would seem to
be:
 
(1)  Just hard-code a lower default threshold for compression than for
out-of-line storage.
 
(2)  Add a GUC or two to control thresholds.
 
(3)  Allow override of the thresholds for individual columns.
 
Are any of these non-controversial?  What do people like there?  What
did I miss?
