Right.  It is not a SQL-compliance item because CREATE INDEX isn't in
the standard in the first place.

The fact that the CREATE INDEX syntax allows for some things that look
like function calls but not for other things that look like function
calls is an annoyance, no doubt about it.  I'm not sure how important
it is to fix though.
