Entirely agree with this.  Index skip scan is actually *ridiculously*
useful in terms of an improvement, and we need to get the right people
together to work on it and get it implemented.  I'd love to see this
done for v15, in particular.  Who do we need to coordinate getting
together to make it happen?  I doubt that I'm alone in wanting to make
this happen and I'd be pretty surprised if we weren't able to bring the
right folks together this fall to make it a reality.

Thanks,
