I've not yet looked at the latest patch, but I did put some thoughts
into an email on the other thread that's been discussing UniqueKeys
[1].
I'm keen to hear thoughts on the plan I mentioned over there. Likely
it would be best to discuss the specifics of what additional features
we need to add to UniqueKeys for skip scans over here, but discuss any
chances which affect both patches over there. We certainly can't have
two separate implementations of UniqueKeys, so I believe the skip
scans UniqueKeys patch should most likely be based on the one in [1]
or some descendant of it.
