that indeed you meant to write "consecutive", and I've got a problem
with that: define "consecutive". In a datatype independent fashion,
please. I also wonder how you are going to implement splitting and
merging of runs, which will certainly be necessary if this isn't to be
a constantly-requires-REINDEX thing.
I don't mean consecutive as in "1, 2, 3, 4, ... without gaps" but as in
"A and B are consecutive in the index, if there's no value X in the
index so that A < X < B". Maybe there's a better word for that.
