> This is a prelim patch that I need comment on (The @@ comments), and I've

> I have added an IsIndex function to indexcmds.c and a RemoveUniqueConstraint

> Note that I have disabled inheritance support for unique constraints - since
> it's impossible to have two indices of the same name anyway...
