I wonder why this is a problem in opfamilies but not collations.
If we don't compare collations, wouldn't it make more sense to break out
of the loop once the number of keys is reached?
When this code was written, there was no question as to what length the
opfamilies/collations the arrays were; it was obvious that they must be
of the length of the index attributes. It's not obvious now. Maybe add
a comment about that?

Yeah, the current situation seems very odd.
