Re: Why isn't it allowed to create an index in a schema other than public?

Actually, you've got that exactly backwards: it's not allowed to have
the index in a *different* schema from its parent table.  Hence there
is no need for the CREATE INDEX command to accept a schema attached
to the index name --- the only one that counts is the one attached to
the table name.
