Hi all,

func.sgml still claims that a sequential scan is the only way to
execute a SELECT COUNT(*) query. I think this note should just be
removed from the current docs, given the existence of index-only
scans; patch attached.

I didn't see any other outright incorrect spots regarding COUNT(*).
There are two EXPLAIN outputs for COUNT(*) queries, in
auto-explain.sgml and ddl.sgml, though those are probably fine as-is.
Josh
