The above part, not sure how to implement it, not sure it is doable.
Refactor:
drop SupportRequestIndexCondition and related code, since mentioned in
upthread, it's dead code.
refactor the regression test. (since data types with infinity cover
more cases than int4range, so I deleted some tests).
now there are 3 helper functions (build_bound_expr,
find_simplified_clause, match_support_request), 2 entry functions
(elem_contained_by_range_support, range_contains_elem_support)
Collation problem seems solved. Putting the following test on the
src/test/regress/sql/rangetypes.sql will not work. Maybe because of
the order of the regression test, in SQL-ASCII encoding, I cannot
create collation="cs-CZ-x-icu".
drop type if EXISTS textrange1, textrange2;
drop table if EXISTS collate_test1, collate_test2;
CREATE TYPE textrange1 AS RANGE (SUBTYPE = text, collation="C");
create type textrange2 as range(subtype=text, collation="cs-CZ-x-icu");
CREATE TABLE collate_test1 (b text COLLATE "en-x-icu" NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO collate_test1(b) VALUES ('a'), ('c'), ('d'), ('ch');
CREATE TABLE collate_test2 (b text NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO collate_test2(b) VALUES ('a'), ('c'), ('d'), ('ch');
--should include 'ch'
SELECT * FROM collate_test1 WHERE b <@ textrange1('a', 'd');
--should not include 'ch'
SELECT * FROM collate_test1 WHERE b <@ textrange2('a', 'd');
--should include 'ch'
SELECT * FROM collate_test2 WHERE b <@ textrange1('a', 'd');
--should not include 'ch'
SELECT * FROM collate_test2 WHERE b <@ textrange2('a', 'd');
