	/*----------
	 * Examine the scan keys to discover where we need to start the scan.
	 *
	 * We want to identify the keys that can be used as starting boundaries;
	 * these are =, >, or >= keys for a forward scan or =, <, <= keys for
	 * a backwards scan.  We can use keys for multiple attributes so long as
	 * the prior attributes had only =, >= (resp. =, <=) keys.  Once we accept
	 * a > or < boundary or find an attribute with no boundary (which can be
	 * thought of as the same as "> -infinity"), we can't use keys for any
	 * attributes to its right, because it would break our simplistic notion
	 * of what initial positioning strategy to use.
	 *
	 * When the scan keys include cross-type operators, _bt_preprocess_keys
	 * may not be able to eliminate redundant keys; in such cases we will
	 * arbitrarily pick a usable one for each attribute.  This is correct
	 * but possibly not optimal behavior.  (For example, with keys like
	 * "x >= 4 AND x >= 5" we would elect to scan starting at x=4 when
	 * x=5 would be more efficient.)  Since the situation only arises given
	 * a poorly-worded query plus an incomplete opfamily, live with it.
	 *
	 * When both equality and inequality keys appear for a single attribute
	 * (again, only possible when cross-type operators appear), we *must*
	 * select one of the equality keys for the starting point, because
	 * _bt_checkkeys() will stop the scan as soon as an equality qual fails.
	 * For example, if we have keys like "x >= 4 AND x = 10" and we elect to
	 * start at x=4, we will fail and stop before reaching x=10.  If multiple
	 * equality quals survive preprocessing, however, it doesn't matter which
	 * one we use --- by definition, they are either redundant or
	 * contradictory.
	 *
	 * Any regular (not SK_SEARCHNULL) key implies a NOT NULL qualifier.
	 * If the index stores nulls at the end of the index we'll be starting
	 * from, and we have no boundary key for the column (which means the key
	 * we deduced NOT NULL from is an inequality key that constrains the other
	 * end of the index), then we cons up an explicit SK_SEARCHNOTNULL key to
	 * use as a boundary key.  If we didn't do this, we might find ourselves
	 * traversing a lot of null entries at the start of the scan.
	 *
	 * In this loop, row-comparison keys are treated the same as keys on their
	 * first (leftmost) columns.  We'll add on lower-order columns of the row
	 * comparison below, if possible.
	 *
	 * The selected scan keys (at most one per index column) are remembered by
	 * storing their addresses into the local startKeys[] array.
	 *
	 * _bt_checkkeys/_bt_advance_array_keys decide whether and when to start
	 * the next primitive index scan (for scans with array keys) based in part
	 * on an understanding of how it'll enable us to reposition the scan.
	 * They're directly aware of how we'll sometimes cons up an explicit
	 * SK_SEARCHNOTNULL key.  They'll even end primitive scans by applying a
	 * symmetric "deduce NOT NULL" rule of their own.  This allows top-level
	 * scans to skip large groups of NULLs through repeated deductions about
	 * key strictness (for a required inequality key) and whether NULLs in the
	 * key's index column are stored last or first (relative to non-NULLs).
	 * If you update anything here, _bt_checkkeys/_bt_advance_array_keys might
	 * need to be kept in sync.

	 * being part of a group of tuples thought to satisfy the required keys.
	 *
	 * Note: Conversely, in the case where the scan's arrays just advanced
	 * using the prior page's HIKEY _without_ advancement setting scanBehind,
	 * the start of matches must be aligned with page boundaries, which makes
	 * it safe to attempt the optimization here now.  It's also safe when the
	 * prior page's HIKEY simply didn't need to advance any required array. In
	 * both cases we can safely assume that the _first_ tuple from this page
	 * must be >= the current set of array keys/equality constraints. And so
	 * if the final tuple is == those same keys (and also satisfies any
