I think it's OK as is. What we are comparing in the modified logic
is whether index columns at the same column positions are expressions or
not, and that's not a matter for mapping. Once we've verified that
the current column is a non-expression in both indexes, then it's
appropriate to use the attmap to see whether the columns correspond.

(Or to put it another way: running "column zero" through the
attmap is always the wrong thing.)
