+1 ... makes the easy cases easy, doesn't make the hard cases any
harder.

Not in favor of this, because FULLTEXT isn't an AM ... how would you
know whether to use GIST or GIN? Actually, if you wanted to simplify
life a bit, you could mark fulltext_ops as being the default opclass
for text (and varchar I guess) under GIST and GIN. Then it reduces
to just
CREATE INDEX idxname ON tblname USING gin (textcolumn);
