Well, no. <@ is not a btree-indexable operator.
What I find more disturbing is that this is what I get from the example
in HEAD:
regression=# explain SELECT * FROM a WHERE ts <@ tstzrange('2013-01-01','2013-01-01 00:10:00');
ERROR: XX000: type 1184 is not a range type
LOCATION: range_get_typcache, rangetypes.c:1451
Haven't traced through it to determine exactly what's happening, but
isn't this a legitimate usage? And if it isn't, surely a more
user-facing error ought to be getting thrown somewhere upstream of here.
