Aha, so it does.
While staring at this new code, I was confused as to why we didn't use
the commutator if the code above had determined one. I was unable to
cause a test to fail, so I put that thought aside.
Some time later, after restructuring the code in a way that seemed to
make more sense to me (and saving one get_op_opfamily_properties call
for the case of the not-equals operator), I realized that with the new
code we can store the opstrategy in the PartClause instead of leaving it
as Invalid and look it up again later, so I did that. And lo and
behold, the tests that used commutators started failing! So I fixed
that one in the obvious way, and the tests work fully again.
Please give this version another look. I also rewrote a couple of
comments.
I now wonder if there's anything else that equivclass.c or indxpath.c
can teach us on this topic.
