Why wouldn't it default to a name more like:
CREATE INDEX "foo(a)" on foo(a);
which would extend pretty nicely to things like:
CREATE INDEX "foo USING GIN(hstore)" ON foo USING GIN(hstore);'
Seems to be both more readable and less chance for arbitrary
collisions if I have column names with underscores. Otherwise
what would the rule distinguishing "create index on foo(a_b)"
from "create index on foo(a,b)", etc.
