Thanks (and also to everyone else who said the same thing almost
instantly). That's not one I have used yet (at least not in a database).
I should have known it was an operator and looked it up that way... what
threw me off was that when I paste that line in pgAdmin it changes the
font and formatting for that line. So I thought it must be something
special.
Sorry for the noise.
