We could install a kluge (not backport the actual change, which was
adding CONCURRENTLY to the set of grammar keywords). But that would
only help people who were trying to update from 8.4.something-after-8.

Now that I think about it, I believe we considered that at the time,
and rejected it on the grounds that the case would come up so seldom as
to not be worth the trouble. I think that's probably still true, and
anyway the value of doing it drops further every day. The time to have
done it would have been a year ago.
