As you shouldn't be ...

There's some major-league whining going on right now in the jdbc list
about the fact that "int8col = 42" isn't indexable. While we know that
solving this problem in the general case is hard, it occurred to me this
afternoon that fixing it just for int8 might not be so hard --- maybe
just taking out the int8-vs-int4 comparison operators would improve
matters. I might be willing to advocate another initdb to do that,
if it seems to help that situation without introducing other issues.
It's not well tested as yet, but stay tuned ...
