< * Maintain a map of recently-expired rows

Update entry:

>   One complexity is that index entries still have to be vacuumed, and

VACUUM can look at just those pages rather than the entire table. In
the event of a system crash, the bitmap would probably be invalidated.
One complexity is that index entries still have to be vacuumed, and
doing this without an index scan (by using the heap values to find the
