print the index key variable or expression for that column.  It was mistakenly
printing ASC/DESC/NULLS FIRST/NULLS LAST decoration too --- and not only for
the target column, but all columns.  Someday we should have an option to
extract that info (and the opclass decoration as well) for a single index
column ... but today is not that day.  Per bug #3829 and subsequent
discussion.

proposal by Simon Riggs, though not exactly his patch.

The zero-point case is sensible so far as the data structure is concerned,
so maybe we ought to allow it sometime; but right now the textual input
routines for these types don't allow it, and it seems that not all the
functions for the types are prepared to cope.

* Consider having the background writer update the transaction status
  hint bits before writing out the page

  Implementing this requires the background writer to have access to system
  catalogs and the transaction status log.

Fix lots of bad markup, bad English, bad explanations.
