After looking at 05 again, I don't like the "same as %" business.
Creating a whole new class of exceptions is not my thing, particularly
not in a regression test whose sole purpose is to look for exceptional
(a.k.a. "wrong") cases. I would much rather define the opclasses for
those two datatypes using the existing @> operators rather than create
&& operators for this purpose. We can add a note to the docs, "for
historical reasons the brin opclass for datatype box/point uses the <@
operator instead of &&", or something like that.
AFAICS this is just some pretty small changes to patches 05 and 06.
Will you please resubmit?
I just pushed patch 01, and I'm looking at 04 next.
