We can revert the code changes of commit b5febc1d1 now, because commit 9a3ddeb51 installed a real solution for the difficulty that b5febc1d1 just dodged, namely that the planner might pick the wrong one of several index columns nominally containing the same value. It only matters which one we pick if we pick one that's not returnable, and that mistake is now foreclosed. Although both of the aforementioned commits were back-patched, I don't feel a need to take any risk by back-patching this one. The cases that it improves are very corner-ish.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
