 *	   Postgres btree pages look like ordinary relation pages.  The opaque
 *	   data at high addresses includes pointers to left and right siblings
 *	   and flag data describing page state.  The first page in a btree, page
 *	   zero, is special -- it stores meta-information describing the tree.
 *	   Pages one and higher store the actual tree data.
