Though apparently pg 9.1's trigram indexes can be used for ILIKE searches (but
aren't a win for all query patterns). It seems to me it'd be worthwhile to have
a setting to tell the backend whether to use ILIKE vs. LIKE LOWER, though
personally I'm not using __icontains so I don't have a dog in this fight :)
