 * create_index_paths()
 *	  Generate all interesting index paths for the given relation.
 *	  Candidate paths are added to the rel's pathlist (using add_path).
 *	  Additional IndexPath nodes may also be added to rel's innerjoin list.
 *
 * To be considered for an index scan, an index must match one or more
 * restriction clauses or join clauses from the query's qual condition,
 * or match the query's ORDER BY condition.
 *
 * There are two basic kinds of index scans.  A "plain" index scan uses
 * only restriction clauses (possibly none at all) in its indexqual,
 * so it can be applied in any context.  An "innerjoin" index scan uses
 * join clauses (plus restriction clauses, if available) in its indexqual.
 * Therefore it can only be used as the inner relation of a nestloop
 * join against an outer rel that includes all the other rels mentioned
 * in its join clauses.  In that context, values for the other rels'
 * attributes are available and fixed during any one scan of the indexpath.
 *
 * An IndexPath is generated and submitted to add_path() for each index
 * this routine deems potentially interesting for the current query
 * (at most one IndexPath per index on the given relation).  An innerjoin
 * path is also generated for each interesting combination of outer join
 * relations.  The innerjoin paths are *not* passed to add_path(), but are
 * appended to the "innerjoin" list of the relation for later consideration
 * in nested-loop joins.
 *
 * 'rel' is the relation for which we want to generate index paths
 * 'indices' is a list of available indexes for 'rel'

 ****************************************************************************/

/*----------
 * These routines handle special optimization of operators that can be
 * used with index scans even though they are not known to the executor's
 * indexscan machinery.  The key idea is that these operators allow us
 * to derive approximate indexscan qual clauses, such that any tuples
 * that pass the operator clause itself must also satisfy the simpler
 * indexscan condition(s).	Then we can use the indexscan machinery
 * to avoid scanning as much of the table as we'd otherwise have to,
 * while applying the original operator as a qpqual condition to ensure
 * we deliver only the tuples we want.	(In essence, we're using a regular
 * index as if it were a lossy index.)
 *
 * An example of what we're doing is
 *			textfield LIKE 'abc%'
 * from which we can generate the indexscanable conditions
 *			textfield >= 'abc' AND textfield < 'abd'
 * which allow efficient scanning of an index on textfield.
 * (In reality, character set and collation issues make the transformation
 * from LIKE to indexscan limits rather harder than one might think ...
 * but that's the basic idea.)
 *
 * Two routines are provided here, match_special_index_operator() and
 * expand_indexqual_conditions().  match_special_index_operator() is
 * just an auxiliary function for match_clause_to_indexkey(); after
 * the latter fails to recognize a restriction opclause's operator
 * as a member of an index's opclass, it asks match_special_index_operator()
 * whether the clause should be considered an indexqual anyway.
 * expand_indexqual_conditions() converts a list of "raw" indexqual
 * conditions (with implicit AND semantics across list elements) into
 * a list that the executor can actually handle.  For operators that
 * are members of the index's opclass this transformation is a no-op,
 * but operators recognized by match_special_index_operator() must be
 * converted into one or more "regular" indexqual conditions.
