Could we create an option to create index names automatically, so you'd only have to write
CREATE INDEX ON foo (a); which would pick a name like foo_a_idx. We already do this in a number of places such as constraint names and sequences without much trouble. In most cases you don't really need to give an index a smart name since the purpose is obvious.
