As far as I can tell, we already do index skip scans:

=> create index foo_a_b_idx on foo(a,b);
CREATE INDEX

=> explain analyze select * from foo where b = 2;
                                               QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Index Scan using foo_a_b_idx on foo

(actual time=0.027..0.057 rows=1 loops=1)  Index Cond: (b = 2)Total runtime: 0.075 ms
(3 rows)
