This says:

Exclusion constraints ensure that that if any two rows are compared on
the specified column(s) or expression(s) using the specified
operator(s), not all of these comparisons will return
<literal>TRUE</>.

I think that's backwards - the last clause should say "none of those
comparisons will return <literal>TRUE</>".

Unless I'm confused.
