order. Another method would be to sort heap ctids matching the index
before accessing the heap rows.
-* Use bitmaps to combine existing indexes [performance]
+* Allow the creation of bitmap indexes which can be quickly combined
+ with other bitmap indexes
- Bitmap indexes allow single indexed columns to be combined to
- dynamically create a composite index to match a specific query. Each
- index is a bitmap, and the bitmaps are AND'ed or OR'ed to be combined.

* Allow use of indexes to search for NULLs
One solution is to create a partial index on an IS NULL expression.
