The issue I ran into was the exact same one as in the JDBC thread I
linked to earlier: correctly interpreting pg_index.indoption (to get the
ASC / DESC and NULLS FIRST/LAST settings), which requires knowing
whether amcanorder is true to determine whether to look at the bits at
all. The guy I was helping was using an earlier pg version, so it didn't
affect him (yet); I hit it when trying to test the query on 9.6.
