No, that was intentional. It's been a long time but I think the
argument was that the cost of updating the indexes would outweigh
their usefulness. The listen/notify code is really not designed
for a great deal of "flap" in the set of active listeners :-(
I'm not particularly concerned about trying to add indexes --- would
much rather get rid of the table approach entirely. There have been
prior discussions of this but nothing's been done.
