FWIW, I was thinking about a case like that with 2 index attributes:
info1->attr[0] = 0, info1->attr[1] = 1
info2->attr[0] = 1, info2->attr[1] = 0
With a mapping from info2 to info1 like that:
attmap[0] = 1, attmap[1] = 0.

The code before 9f71e10d6 would have accessed an incorrect pointer.
The new code would return false, which would not be correct if the
expressions stored in ii_Expressions for info1/attr0 and info2/attr1
match?
