I've looked attentively in src/test/modules... To properly test all reloptions
hooks for modules wee need to create an extension with some dummy index in it.
This way we can properly test everything. Creating dummy index would be fun,
but it a quite big deal to create it, so it will require a separate patch to
deal with. So I suppose string reloptions is better to leave untested for now,
with a notion, that it should be done sooner or later

One more reason to keep numeric value, that came to my mind, is that it seems
to be logical to keep enum value in postgres internals represented as C-enum.
And C-enum is actually an int value (can be easily casted both ways). It is
not strictly necessary, but it seems to be a bit logical...
