I think it's fair to say that out of the box and RPM install should not
result in indexes not being used because the LANG is set to something
other than 'C'. I'm all for reading the manual and tuning later, but
that is something that can't be changed without a complete
dump/initdb/restore. It's just always seemed kind of misleading to me..
