Hmm, B-Trees and B+-Trees both can have variable length keys. I'll
accept an assertion that MySQL index B-trees cannot - but we should be
precise here, because its not a global limitation.

That said, our DB design basically needs to take into account the
union of limitations of all target DB platforms, so we do still need
to cater for this.
