You can tell for sure by looking into the SGML comments in
release-12.sgml:

... and yeah, James should get the credit. But there's more wrong with
the summary than that, because I don't think this was about mismatched
types particularly. The real motivation was to avoid failing to prove
the usability of WHERE-x-IS-NOT-NULL partial indexes for IN clauses with
more than 100 elements.
