That one seems like it should either be at the AM level or not
included at all. Where it would be interesting to know is if you
are a hacker looking for an AM to enhance with support, or (when
there is more than just btree supported, so it is not so easy to
remember) if you are a DBA investigating a high rate of
serialization failures and want to know whether indexes of a
certain type have index-relation predicate locking granularity or
something more fine-grained. The latter use case seems plausible
once there is more of a mix of support among the AMs.
