I don't know of any public/open code, but I have seen DefineIndex() being used directly in some company's private code. And it's probably not a good idea to do so. Since such code should also adapt to be safe, it's probably a good idea if it breaks. If such code is used without recompiling against an updated PG, it's likely that it will error out with a somewhat strange message (Cache lookup failure for Oid <ptr as uint32>), but it shouldn't crash.
