Review Comment:
The alternative here is to use `isEmptyValueMeaningless()` instead of
`!isLiteral()`, which would mean empty values for boolean and a few other
things would no longer be indexed. This makes sense if you don't believe
querying on empty values for non-string types is useful, but it obviously
diverges from what non-index filtering queries seem to do right now.
