Not really you didn't realise, or not really you don't agree? Unique
indexes can still contain multiple null values on the same column, hence
a not null constraint is required to make them useful as a row
identifier.

I'd rather not prevent the user from shooting his own foot in quite such
a nannying way, but on a more general theme, what about having a bunch
of tips in appropriate places to help the newbie? Each one could have
it's own 'don't show me this again' check box, along with a global
option to turn them off. In this case, when creating a table without a
pkey it could pop-up and warn about the problem and give the user the
chance to correct the problem.
