Fabien, Christopher:
It would be nice for pgAdmin & PhpPgAdmin to have GUI interfaces to
pg_advisor, though.
Also, I would argue for this to be a GBorg/pgFoundry project rather than part
of the core. It's the sort of thing that could easily be database-version
agnostic, and that SQL jockeys who are not Hackers could contribute to.

Whoa, there, partner! Keep in mind that there are *often* reasons for using
a partial index on an FK, or even no index at all! The docs for pg_advisor
need to reflect that it only catches little details the developer might
otherwise have missed. It's not smarter than a DBA.
