Suppose some _cachable_ function f is expensive, but its results are
often needed.  So, to speed up queries, we have an index on
f(table.field). I wonder what happens when we update a tuple of that
table: will f be re-computed if table.field is not changed? What if
the update explicitly re-sets table.field to its old value?

Thanks in advance,

Albert.
