Hi, The covering indexes patch [1] really needs a version of heap_form_tuple/index_form_tuple that allows to specify the number of columns in the to-be generated tuple. Previously the faster expression evaluation stuff could also have benefited form the same for both forming and deforming tuples.
It's obviously trivial to add, codewise. I think for index_form_tuple we can just add a parameter, but for heap_form_tuple/heap_deform_tuple that'd probably break a number of external users. How about adding _ex variants that allow to specify that?
