Add commentary to show that even though ExecInitIndexScan() 

contains much code that looks like it will handle indexquals with the index
key on either side of the operator, in fact indexquals must have the index
key on the left because of limitations of the ScanKey machinery.  Perhaps
someone will be motivated to fix that someday...
