I wonder if the logic for setting BTScanInsertData.anynullkeys inside
_bt_mkscankey() is the place to put your test for
rel->rd_index->indnullsnotdistinct -- not inside _bt_doinsert(). That
would probably necessitate renaming anynullkeys, but that's okay. This
feels more natural to me because a NULL key column in a NULLS NOT
DISTINCT unique constraint is very similar to a NULL non-key column in
an INCLUDE index, as far as our requirements go -- and so both cases
should probably be dealt with at the same point.

Makes sense.  Here is an updated patch with this change.

I didn't end up renaming anynullkeys. I came up with names like "anyalwaysdistinctkeys", but in the end that felt too abstract, and moreover, it would require rewriting a bunch of code comments that refer to null values in this context. Since as you wrote, anynullkeys is just a local concern between two functions, this slight inaccuracy is perhaps better than some highly general but unclear terminology.

Subject: [PATCH v3] Add UNIQUE null treatment option

The SQL standard has been ambiguous about whether null values in
unique constraints should be considered equal or not.  Different
implementations have different behaviors.  In the SQL:202x draft, this
has been formalized by making this implementation-defined and adding
an option on unique constraint definitions UNIQUE [ NULLS [NOT]
DISTINCT ] to choose a behavior explicitly.

This patch adds this option to PostgreSQL.  The default behavior
remains UNIQUE NULLS DISTINCT.  Making this happen in the btree code
is pretty easy; most of the patch is just to carry the flag around to
all the places that need it.

The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX syntax extension is not from the standard,
it's my own invention.

XXX I named all the internal flags, catalog columns, etc. in the
negative ("nulls not distinct") so that the default PostgreSQL
behavior is the default if the flag is false.  But perhaps the double
negatives make some code harder to read.
