Shouldn't this be implemented in a more generic manner? An ordinary
btree index could very well support <@ queries too, but your patch
only adds this capability to btree-gin.
The documentation describes btree-gin as providing "GIN operator
classes that implement B-tree equivalent behavior", but now the
behavior diverges.
