Ugh, any idea here?

create function box(point) returns box as
'select box($1, $1)'
language 'sql';

misc=# explain select * from tmp where box(point(-121, 37)) @ b;
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:

Seq Scan on tmp (cost=0.00..2653.01 rows=61 width=92)

misc=# explain select * from tmp
misc-# where box(point(-121,37),point(-121,37)) @ b;

misc=# select box(point(-121, 37));
box
---------------------
(-121,37),(-121,37)

misc=# select box(point(-121,37),point(-121,37));
box
---------------------
(-121,37),(-121,37)

misc=# select 1 where box(point(-121,37),point(-121,37))=box(point(-121,
37));
