Yeah.  I thought for a bit about using contrib/dblink to carry out
the commands in a different session, but I don't think that'll work:
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY would think it has to wait out the
transaction running the DO block at some steps.  Shove the logic
over to the client side and you're good to go.
