 * InvalidBlockNumber is the same thing as P_NEW in buf.h.

 * the access methods, the buffer manager and the storage manager are

 * in access method code).
 *
 * there doesn't appear to be any reason to have separate types except
 * for the fact that BlockIds can be SHORTALIGN'd (and therefore any
 * structures that contains them, such as ItemPointerData, can also be
 * SHORTALIGN'd).  this is an important consideration for reducing the
 * space requirements of the line pointer (ItemIdData) array on each
 * page and the header of each heap or index tuple, so it doesn't seem
 * wise to change this without good reason.
