Split up wal-logging items:
< * Allow control over which tables are WAL-logged [walcontrol]

< commit. To do this, only a single writer can modify the table, and
< writes must happen only on new pages. Readers can continue accessing
< the table. This would affect COPY, and perhaps INSERT/UPDATE too.
< Another option is to avoid transaction logging entirely and truncate
< or drop the table on crash recovery. These should be implemented
< using ALTER TABLE, e.g. ALTER TABLE PERSISTENCE [ DROP | TRUNCATE |
< STABLE | DEFAULT ]. Tables using non-default logging should not use
< referential integrity with default-logging tables, and tables using
< stable logging probably can not have indexes. One complexity is
< the handling of indexes on TOAST tables.
