We have some limited ability to detect redundant and contradictory conditions involving an nbtree row comparison key following commitsREL_18_STABLEf09816a0and bd3f59fd: we can do so in simple cases involving IS NULL and IS NOT NULL keys on a row compare key's first column. We can likewise determine that a scan's qual is unsatisfiable given a row compare whose first subkey's arg is NULL. Update obsolete comments that claimed that we merely copied row compares into the output key array "without any editorialization". Also update another _bt_preprocess_keys header comment paragraph: add a parenthetical remark that points out that preprocessing will generate a skip array for the preceding example qual. That will ultimate lead to preprocessing marking the example's lower-order y key required -- which is exactly what the example supposes cannot happen. Keep the original comment, though, since it accurately describes the mechanical rules that determine which keys get marked required in the absence of skip arrays (which can occasionally still matter). This fixes an oversight in commit92fe23d9, which added the nbtree skip scan optimization. Author: Peter Geoghegan <pg@bowt.ie> Backpatch-through: 18
