Yeah, that's what's giving me pain - foreign key names are generated in the
rewriter or something somewhere, so I'm not sure exactly what I have access
to for checking duplicates...
The other interesting issue is the the little suffix we append is just in
the name. ie. someone can create an index called '_pkey' and cause
confusion.
