Interesting!
Please keep in mind this was written ~2018 and was stale on my branches for
quite some time.  So back then I did try to use PageType, but had not free
bits.  Looking at it again though, it's cleaned up.  So yes I think this can
be much much cleaner.  Should we go and define a new PG_pagepool?


Thanks!
