I am not sure I understand. How does it work in 1.10 then? It uses
tuple_field_by_part_raw, which in the end simply calls

	tuple_field_raw(format, data, field_map, part->fieldno);

Exactly what we had here. Why did anything change?

Besides, I can't find any info why do we need this 'offset slot cache'.
The comment above this member simply narrates the code, and I don't
understand the actual reason it was added. Did you manage to realize it?
Can you explain, please?
