eq_found is an optimization that allows us to save a tuple comparison.
Not that it really matters for the disk iterator, but still I'd rather
keep it.

As I said, I agree that retval conventions look ugly in the iterator
code. I didn't plan on cleaning it up now, because it doesn't really
stand in the way of tuple hints. I'll look into it a bit later.
