Stupid question: for the btree index support function, is that *only*
the function referenced in the OPERATOR CLASS, or does it also apply
to functions that implement the operators in that class? IOW, do I
need to worry about memory leaks in citext_eq, citext_ne, citext_gt,
etc., or only in citext_cmp()?

Thanks,
