So?  IIRC pgAdmin can open up multiple connections already.

Just to be perfectly clear: the odds of making a single backend support
concurrent operations in the foreseeable future are indistinguishable
from zero.  So if you want a behavior like this, it's going to have to
happen by making the client open up multiple connections.  I see no
reason at all to tie such a feature to index-dropping in particular.
