OK, I see your point now. And I think this is a very good point. Basing "Compression dictionaries" on the API provided by "pluggable TOASTer" can also be less hacky than what I'm currently doing with `typmod` argument. I'm going to switch the implementation at some point, unless anyone will object to the idea. -- Best regards, Aleksander Alekseev
