Attached is a revised version of this patch. Sorry for taking so long to
make progress on this: my new job been keeping my busy, and I've
recently been ill.

This version updates the patch to CVS HEAD and has various fixes and
refactoring, including proper docs. I refactored get_opclass_name() into
lsyscache.c, but then realized that this means that lsyscache.c will
depend on commands/indexcmds.c (for GetDefaultOpClass()), which is
arguably improper, so I'm tempted to revert and just duplicate the
syscache lookups in both ruleutils.c and parse_utilcmd.c

Nikhil: why are both "options" and "inhreloptions" necessary in
IndexStmt? Won't at least one be NULL?

BTW, I notice that include/defrem.h contains declarations for several
different, marginally-related .c files (indexcmds.c, functioncmds.c,
operatorcmds.c, aggregatecmds.c, opclasscmds.c, define.c). I'm inclined
to separate these declarations into separate header files; any
objections to doing that?
