Up to now we've not worried much about joins where the join key is a relation's CTID column, reasoning that storing a table's CTIDs in some other table would be pretty useless. However, there are use-cases for this sort of query involving self-joins, so that argument doesn't really hold water. With larger relations, a merge or hash join is desirable. We had a btree opclass for type "tid", allowing merge joins on CTID, but no hash opclass so that hash joins weren't possible. Add the missing infrastructure. This also potentially enables hash aggregation on "tid", though the use-cases for that aren't too clear. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1853.1545453106@sss.pgh.pa.us

This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
