And also "Note that there is no guarantee that the existing index is
anything like the one that would have been created."

IMO that's wrong too, the CREATE SCHEMA documentation doesn't list it
as valid syntax.

But now that you split the syntax in two, you can simply replace
"opt_index_name" with "index_name" and it will naturally cause a
syntax error without the need for an if(). What do you think?
Patch attached, which applies on top of your v4 patch.

Looks cleaner to me: first input all the fields, then validate. And
there are examples like this too, like "COPY select_with_parens". But
this is moot now, if you agree with my grammar change.
