I don't see why it'd have a different lifespan than rd_oidindex at all?
If the latter were used inside the loop it'd be a bug as well.

It's not like it's not documented: There's a comment about it in struct
RelationData. I must have missed that rd_oidindex has a comment abou
it's lifetime over RelationGetIndexList().
I personally actually prefer the struct as the location for the
lifetime. I can send a patch to commonalize the location in either place
with the other location pointing to it.
