* Allow the creation of bitmap indexes which can be quickly combined
with other bitmap indexes
* Allow non-bitmap indexes to be combined by creating bitmaps in memory
Bitmap indexes index single columns that can be combined with other bitmap
indexes to dynamically create a composite index to match a specific query.
Each index is a bitmap, and the bitmaps are bitwise AND'ed or OR'ed to be
combined. Such indexes could be more compact if there are few unique
value. Also, perhaps they can be lossy requiring a scan of the heap page
to find matching rows.
combined. They can index by tid or can be lossy requiring a scan of the

* Allow non-bitmap indexes to be combined
* Allow the creation of on-disk bitmap indexes which can be quickly
combined with other bitmap indexes
Do lookups on non-bitmap indexes and create bitmaps in memory that can be
combined with other indexes.
Such indexes could be more compact if there are few unique value.
* Allow use of indexes to search for NULLs
