* Allow accurate statistics to be collected on indexes with more than
one column or expression indexes, perhaps using per-index statistics
-* Allow the creation of indexes with mixed ascending/descending
+* -Allow the creation of indexes with mixed ascending/descending
specifiers

- This is possible now by creating an operator class with reversed sort
- operators. One complexity is that NULLs would then appear at the start
- of the result set, and this might affect certain sort types, like
- merge join.
-
* Allow constraint_exclusion to work for UNIONs like it does for
inheritance, allow it to work for UPDATE and DELETE statements, and allow
it to be used for all statements with little performance impact
