Folks,
I'm updating Joy of Index, and I wanted to clear something up. In 7.3.3, and
in 7.4 CVS, will IS NOT NULL queries use a regular index if NULLs are
sufficiently uncommon, or does this still require an IS NULL partial index as
it did in 7.2.x? I don't want to mislead readers ....

No. There is no infrastructure that would make this possible.
