I agree. Table-spanning indexes would be a large, complex,
difficult-to-get-right feature. Before diving into that we should get
some idea of just how we'd actually use them, and whether that's the
only big chunk of work standing between us and a more useful inheritance
feature. I'm afraid we might do all that effort and then discover there
are other showstoppers.
