I renamed it with other two.

At the very least please write a comment to explain this in the code.
Right now it looks broken. If I noticed this then one day in the
future someone else will. If you write a comment then person of the
future will likely read it, and then not raise any questions about the
otherwise questionable code.

I added a sentence about it.

I do strongly agree that the estimates need improved here. I've
personally had issues with bad brin estimates before, and I'd like to
see it improved. I think the patch is not quite complete without it
also considering stats on expression indexes. If you have time to go
do that I'd suggest you go ahead with that.

I copy-pasted expression index support from btcostestimate() as well,
and extended the regression test.

I think this function can use more polishing before committing, but I
don't know where to begin.  There are single functions for every
access method in here.  I don't like them being in there to begin
with.  selfuncs.s is quite long with all kinds of dependencies and
dependents.  I think it would be better to have the access method
selectivity estimation functions under src/access.  Maybe we should
start doing so by moving this to src/access/brin/brin_selfuncs.c.
What do you think?

I have marked this patch "Needs Review".
