I think it's actually:
src/include/utils/selfuncs.h-/* default selectivity estimate for boolean and
null test nodes */
src/include/utils/selfuncs.h-#define DEFAULT_UNK_SEL 0.005
..which is 1/200.
Note, you can do this, which helps a bit by collecting stats for the index
expr:
postgres=# CREATE INDEX ON xyz((gs&1));
postgres=# ANALYZE xyz;
postgres=# explain analyze SELECT * FROM xyz WHERE gs&1=1 AND gs&2=2 AND gs&4=4;
Bitmap Heap Scan on xyz (cost=91643.59..259941.99 rows=124 width=4) (actual
time=472.376..2294.035 rows=1250000 loops=1)
Recheck Cond: ((gs & 1) = 1)
Filter: (((gs & 2) = 2) AND ((gs & 4) = 4))
Rows Removed by Filter: 3750000
Heap Blocks: exact=44248
