In general the semantics of the INSERT might depend upon which
particular partial unique index the user intended for us to infer, which
would have to vary with the parameter (I suppose). Those semantics seem
wildly unreasonable to me, in roughly the same way as parameterizing
the target table's name would be.

I'm not sure how difficult it would be offhand, so I can't commit to it now.
