I asked why such an index doesn't exists already. I guess that answers it. I 
definitely don't want to push for supporting that, especially not knowing what 
it entails.

 I'd consider a duplication here a serious bug. That is pretty much catalog 
corruption. Having two children within a single child table sounds like it 
would break a lot of things.

That being said this function is hardly performance critical. I don't know 
whether throwing an elog indicating what's going wrong here would be worth it.
