Also, further experimentation shows that there are about 30 entries in the
brinopers table that give rise to seqscan plans even when we're commanding
a bitmap scan, presumably because those operators aren't brin-indexable.
They're not the problematic cases, but things like
((charcol)::text > 'A'::text)
Is there a reason to have such things in the table, or is this just a
thinko? Or is it actually a bug that we're getting such plans?
