Well, too late for 9.5.2 anyway.  It still makes sense to correct that
text for future releases.  I'm inclined to wait a little bit though and
see what other improvements become apparent.  For instance, I think the
point about non-first index columns not being affected is of greater
weight than you seem to place on it.
