An upcoming patch that adds deduplication to the nbtree AM will rely on _bt_keep_natts_fast() understanding that differences in TOAST input state can never affect its answer. In particular, two opclass-equal datums (with opclasses deemed safe for deduplication) should never be treated as unequal by _bt_keep_natts_fast() due to TOAST input differences. This also seems like a good idea on general principle. nbtsplitloc.c will now occasionally make better decisions about where to split a leaf page. The behavior of _bt_keep_natts_fast() is now somewhat closer to the behavior of _bt_keep_natts(). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAH2-Wzn3Ee49Gmxb7V1VJ3-AC8fWn-Fr8pfWQebHe8rYRxt5OQ@mail.gmail.com
