Move INDEX inheritance out into a separate section: 

< * Allow inherited tables to inherit index, UNIQUE constraint, and primary
<   key, foreign key
< * UNIQUE INDEX on base column not honored on INSERTs/UPDATEs from
<   inherited table:  INSERT INTO inherit_table (unique_index_col) VALUES
<   (dup) should fail
<
<   The main difficulty with this item is the problem of creating an index
<   that can span more than one table.
<
< * Allow SELECT ... FOR UPDATE on inherited tables
> * Inheritance

* Allow inherited tables to inherit index, UNIQUE constraint, and primary
key, foreign key
* UNIQUE INDEX on base column not honored on INSERTs/UPDATEs from
inherited table: INSERT INTO inherit_table (unique_index_col) VALUES
(dup) should fail
The main difficulty with this item is the problem of creating an index
that can span more than one table.
* Allow SELECT ... FOR UPDATE on inherited tables
* Add UNIQUE capability to non-btree indexes
* Prevent index uniqueness checks when UPDATE does not modify the column

This is difficult because it requires datatype-specific knowledge.
* Inheritance
o Allow inherited tables to inherit indexes, UNIQUE constraints,
and primary/foreign keys
o Honor UNIQUE INDEX on base column in INSERTs/UPDATEs
on inherited table, e.g. INSERT INTO inherit_table
(unique_index_col) VALUES (dup) should fail
The main difficulty with this item is the problem of
creating an index that can span multiple tables.
o Allow SELECT ... FOR UPDATE on inherited tables
* GIST
o Add more GIST index support for geometric data types
o Allow GIST indexes to create certain complex index types, like
digital trees (see Aoki)
* Hash
o Pack hash index buckets onto disk pages more efficiently
