It's thrown around through some of the links Rob mentioned, but it's true
and notorious issue with indexing in MySQL.  Furthermore, indexes must be in
left-right ordering, if there's a multi-column index.  Things I suppose are
trying to improve a bit, but the rule is typically to create specific
indexes for every major type of query.
