Uh, bloom is in /contrib, so we wouldn't mention that in the main docs,
I think. However, it might be nice to mention you can add others.

Yes, seems we should say that you can install your own methods that can
be used, e.g., bloom.

Well, this is embarrassing. Someone reported there was no mention of
USING in the CREATE INDEX docs, and I didn't see it either, so I added
it.
However, CREATE INDEX just lists the parameters, not the keywords, so it
was already there as 'method', as you mentioned above. I will just
remove the USING section I recently added.
