No, wait, I take that back --- it can't do a plain indexscan because
ScalarArrayOp (=ANY(ARRAY)) isn't supported as a plain indexscan qual,
only as a bitmap qual. This is because we rely on the bitmap to
eliminate duplicates. It was never worth improving on that before;
but now that plain indexscans have a potential performance advantage,
we ought to think about ways to use ScalarArrayOp in plain indexscans.
