- * Sometimes this routine will return a new pivot tuple that takes up more
- * space than firstright, because a new heap TID attribute had to be added to
- * distinguish lastleft from firstright. This should only happen when the
- * caller is in the process of splitting a leaf page that has many logical
- * duplicates, where it's unavoidable.
- *
* Note that returned tuple's t_tid offset will hold the number of attributes
* present, so the original item pointer offset is not represented. Caller
* should only change truncated tuple's downlink. Note also that truncated
* key attributes are treated as containing "minus infinity" values by
* _bt_compare().
*
- * In the worst case (when a heap TID is appended) the size of the returned
- * tuple is the size of the first right tuple plus an additional MAXALIGN()'d
- * item pointer. This guarantee is important, since callers need to stay
- * under the 1/3 of a page restriction on tuple size. If this routine is ever
- * taught to truncate within an attribute/datum, it will need to avoid
- * returning an enlarged tuple to caller when truncation + TOAST compression
- * ends up enlarging the final datum.
