If the choice were just index or no index, then this might be ok, but
when you create an index you can choose the index type, the operator
class, a partial index predicate, so the notation would quickly become
complicated. You can also consider similar arguments about why rules
and triggers are created separately.
What would clearly be useful is a way to automatically generate names
for indexes. Maybe we should think about implementing something for
that.
