No, they aren't. However, even if they were, that would not actually speed
up the query at all. We are already looking up in the index by objectid,
and that would be an equivalent constraint to limiting by the available
range of start/end values.
I'm currently arguing with plpgsql over this problem, but it looks like
it will run reasonably fast.
