pg_stat_user_indexes and pg_stat_user_tables aready give us this information.
Further, the newsysviews are going to fill in for the remaining missing info
(like unindexed FKs).
What other tools do we need?   If we're talking an interactive analysis tool
ala pg_suggest, isn't that being worked on .... as an *add-in*?  I don't see
any place for this in the core ...
