Actually I think you're wrong; if I put it before the check, then if I
do "drop index concurrently some_temp_partitioned_index" then it would
fail; but if I put it after the check, then it does a normal
non-concurrent index and it works.  I'm not sure it's necessary to break
a case that otherwise works ...

(But for that to work I need to test the flag in the bitmask rather than
the option in the command, as in the attached).
