   > You can tell I am tired of dealing with users who have been let down by 
mango and its false promises.
   
   This is completely understandable and comprehensible and yes, you always 
answer the same questions and misunderstandings ;-). Maybe this is also one of 
the reasons that I have not used Mango much.
   
   I think we shouldn't mix different things here though, nor personal 
inclinations / dislikes to various functions. 
   
   I think we can and should improve the current behavior as best as possible 
(in the sense of the user and operator) (and best of all, without introducing 
an additional configuration parameter). 
   
   If we want to preserve a backward-comatable behavior, can't we explicitly 
tell the user in the result if an index was used or not (more visible than just 
in _explain) and without interpreting the "execution statistics"?
   
   Now I would also have no problem with marking this as backwards incompatible 
in the changlog! If we follow the documentation, then we just correct the 
behavior (which was wrong until now).
