Ordinarily, changing a function definition like that *would* break
things. The only thing that's saving you from yourself in this example
is that the function is inline-able SQL, and so what the planner is
seeing is not "f(i)" vs "f(i)", but "i * -1" vs just "i". Even so,
the index is broken/corrupt, or will be as soon as you make more
insertions into it with the changed function.
