No. > or should we define new FT_STRING[Z] type(s)? --> FT_STRING[Z]_I? That would be one possiblity, but that'd prevent people from doing case-sensitive filtering on those strings (which they might want to do for some reason), and it wouldn't allow people to do case-*in*sensitive filtering on FT_STRING[Z] fields. The right thing to do there might be to have a new operator for doing case-insensitive string comparison.
