No, you're thinking of the wrong << operator. The question was about
the inet network inclusion operator. We have a special case in
indxpath.c to transform "inetcol << inetconstant" into a range check
on the inet variable, much like we can transform a left-anchored LIKE
pattern into a range check on the text variable.
