I think I was the one chaing from && to ~/@ as they are more correct.
If we're going to change the selectivity estimator we should consider
using a different name to estimate the different filters, just in case
we'll use different implementation for one or the other. For points
they are really equal but for polygons estimates could be very
different for intersect and full containment (polygons could only
touch or have small overlap but very never be nested).
