Well, I did not think you were talking about generated SQL. I mean I
would like to see these indexes in left part of main pgadmin screen,
where all other (user-created) indexes are shown. I mostly do not look
at the generated SQL, so I did not think about it.
Maybe for such indexes there should be no generated SQL when you select
it (or some text that warns that this index is system-generated).
