Old-style OR indexscan slated for destruction

I am about to rip out the code that supports multiple indexscans for OR conditions inside a single IndexScan plan node. As best I can tell, the new-style bitmap-OR code is as fast or faster than the old way even in fully cached test cases (ie, with no allowance for improved efficiency of disk access). So there's no percentage in maintaining support for the old way, and getting rid of it will allow simplification of code and data structures in the planner. regards, tom lane
