That represents an actual assertion that the operators behave in a certain way, whereas an operator merely named '=' might do anything. There's a fair amount of other infrastructure that also relies on btree opclasses to tell it how operators behave, so it's worth your trouble to jump through this hoop. regards, tom lane
