-----------------------------------------------------------------
it would be good either as part of this project or a follow on to enhance the
consistency checker to make sure keys in these indexes that support deferable
constraints are all unique within whatever the appropriate guidelines
(ie. allow duplicate nulls or not). If a table level lock is held then it
should be true that there are no duplicates, even though the underlying
implementation btree is a duplicate allowing index.
being able to run this after some set of stressing the deferable constraint
code in tests might make it easier to test.

> In many situations it is desirable to have constraints checking taking place
> only at transaction commit time, and not before. If e.g. there is a chain of
> foreign key constraints between tables, insert statements have to be ordered
> to avoid constraint violations. If foreign key references are circular, the
> DML has to be split into insert statements and subsequent update statements
> by the user.
> In other words, with deferred constraints checking, life is much easier for
> the user. Also it can create problems with softwares such as
> object-relational mapping tools that are not prepared for statement ordering
> and thus depend on deferred constraints checking.
