Wow... not sure how I missed that. I *did* create this schema ages ago,
perhaps it wasn't there, or at the time I had no idea what the
implications were. *shrug*

As a result, when creating tables containing large blocks of text I wish

until HASH is at a point where it is usable in production.
Uh, the manual already does say
Note: Testing has shown PostgreSQL's hash indexes to perform no better
than B-tree indexes, and the index size and build time for hash indexes
is much worse. Furthermore, hash index operations are not presently
WAL-logged, so hash indexes might need to be rebuilt with REINDEX after
a database crash. For these reasons, hash index use is presently
discouraged.
under 11.2 Index Types, as well as various derogatory remarks elsewhere.
