Well, I've done the patch against the latest CVS this time, making it easier
to merge in later.
Major features:
* You can create partial indices
* You can pg_dump them
* They have documentation
* The database will use them
* Disables EXTEND INDEX pending complete removal
Remaining issue:
* Vacuum destroys your index's partialness
I'm going to work on that tonight, I'll see how far I get.
You'll need to do an initdb after this (I think) because it adds a new
internal function. I used OID 1716, I hope nobody is using that one right
now.
