Are there any plans (or maybe it's already done?) for a fsck-like
utility for postgresql that will automagically drop all indecies,
scan the table for bad data and then recreate the index, prefereably
with only an exclusive lock on the database being manipulated(*)?

(*) to avoid having to start up the postmaster with weird options
and/or stop activity on other databases under the postmaster's
control.
