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?
