Simple, create all indexes last of all. The optimizer will figure out what
indexes to use (and cache the results) on a per query basis at runtime (if I
understand it correctly), hence you can add an index at any time and it will
be used where appropriate. The functions don't care about indexes at
creation time.

Like I, this is how I understand PostgreSQL does it. I may well be wrong.
