 * Note: the default selectivity estimates are not chosen entirely at random.

 * available, for typical table densities of ~100 tuples/page.  Thus, for
 * example, 0.01 is not quite small enough, since that makes it appear that
 * nearly all pages will be hit anyway.  Also, since we sometimes estimate
 * eqsel as 1/num_distinct, we probably want DEFAULT_NUM_DISTINCT to equal

 * genericcostestimate is a general-purpose estimator that can be used for
 * most index types.  In some cases we use genericcostestimate as the base
 * code and then incorporate additional index-type-specific knowledge in
 * the type-specific calling function.  To avoid code duplication, we make
 * genericcostestimate return a number of intermediate values as well as
 * its preliminary estimates of the output cost values.  The GenericCosts
 * struct includes all these values.
 *
 * Callers should initialize all fields of GenericCosts to zero.  In addition,
 * they can set numIndexTuples to some positive value if they have a better
 * than default way of estimating the number of leaf index tuples visited.
 * Similarly, they can set num_sa_scans to some value >= 1 for an index AM
 * that doesn't necessarily perform exactly one primitive index scan per
 * distinct combination of ScalarArrayOp array elements.
