i guess Greg is talking about something like(ie just forgetting to name
the index):

devel=# create index concurrently on foo ( a);
CREATE INDEX
devel=# \d foo
Table "public.foo"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
a | integer |
b | text |
c | integer |
d | text |
Indexes:
"concurrently" btree (a)
