I realized my approach to this patch is just wrong, because I'm only
searching one index leaf page for conflicts (whichever one the insert
lands on), and they might be in different pages, due to changes in
penalty, splits, and maybe other reasons. I've been working on a
different approach, but I don't have something ready to send in yet.
I've updated the commitfest status to Waiting on Author.
