In fairness, the "INCLUDE" clause was added, which is new to PostgreSQL
11, so it could raise the question as to why aren't other clauses there.

Perhaps we could add some more examples? For instance, why one might
want to use "INCLUDE" with a unique index. And perhaps a case of the
"partial unique index" (which I have used in production systems before).
