There is no such flag, and I'm not planning to add one before I fix
statistics ;-)

There are a number of things that'd have to be thought about before
such a thing could happen.  For one thing, trying to obtain write locks
instead of read locks during a btree scan would blow us out of the water
for supporting concurrent btree operations.
