None of which address the question of what plan PG should produce for:
SELECT * FROM bigtable WHERE foo LIKE 's%'
Ah, this one already uses the btree since the '%' is at the end.
My point is that a search like this will yield too many results to be
useful to the user anyway, so optimizing its performance is a kind of red
herring.
