Is there any value (or can value be added) in creating a partial index of the form: archetype IN ('banner','some other rare value') such that the planner will see that such a value is possible but infrequent and will, in the presence of a plan using a value contained in the partial index, refuse to use a generic plan knowing that it will be unable to use the very specific index that the user created?
