Surely creating such a wrapper would be *more* work than adding WAL
support to the hash AM.

I'm not entirely following this eagerness to junk that AM, anyway.
We've put a lot of sweat into it over the years, in the hopes that
it would eventually be good for something.  It's on the edge of
being good for something now, and there's doubtless room for more
improvements, so why are the knives out?
