    index types can be reliably distinguished by examining the special space
    on an index page.  Per my earlier proposal, plus the realization that
    there's no need for btree's vacuum cycle ID to cycle through every possible
    16-bit value.  Restricting its range a little costs nearly nothing and
    eliminates the possibility of collisions.
    Memo to self: remember to make bitmap indexes play along with this scheme,
    assuming that patch ever gets accepted.
