If we have solved CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, then I would propose that
this becomes the default option for creating an index, when the
statement is issued outside of a statement block.

That seems better than reminding everybody to run with the CONCURRENTLY
option, or advise them of different performance characteristics or
behaviour of the normal CREATE INDEX route.
