No, unfortunately I still see the plan with Seq scan node:

postgres=# explain analyze select * from test where x in (1,2) and y = 100;

                                                      QUERY PLAN

Looking at the current index generation code, implementing this approach 
will require a lot of refactoring so that functions starting with 
get_indexes do not rely on the current baserestrictinfo, but use only 
the indexrestrictinfo, which is a copy of baserestrictinfo. And I think, 
potentially, there may be complexity also with the equivalences that we 
can get from OR expressions. All interesting transformations are 
available only for OR expressions, not for ANY, that is, it makes sense 
to try the last chance to find a suitable plan with the available OR 
expressions and if that plan turns out to be better, use it.
