For your personal amusement: I just noticed that, after adding the
additional column containing the bbox and running VACUUM FULL, the table
now has a size of 4 pages, and that's enough for the query optimizer to
choose an index scan. At least that saves us from modifying and
redeploying a bunch of applications to use the && bbox query:-)
