As of 7.4, this is a requirement badly in need of reconsideration.
What makes you think there is any function name involved? Consider
something likecreate index i on t ((col + 2));
Getting the column names is still a sensible operation though. I'd
suggest looking in pg_depend to see which columns of the table the
index depends on.
