Sorry for not getting the might-be-obvious here, but will this patch
bring indexed substring-search to PG? So queries conceptually equal to
this will be possible to index: WHERE som_col @@
':substr1:&:substr2!substr3:' meaning "contains substr1" AND "ends with
substr2" OR "starts with substr3"?
Such applications are potentionally possible, but aren't presented yet. Currently only k-d-tree and suffix-tree are presented. Suffix-tree supports prefix search like btree with *_pattern_ops. (Oleg will corect me if I'm missing something)

For the queries you mentioned you may see LIKE acceleration in wildspeed module (http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/wiki/wildspeed) and pg_trgm of 9.1 (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/pgtrgm.html).
