I would love, love, love to be able to use this syntax within pg_dump as

I can hardly conceive of greater folly than putting an *experimental*
psql facility into pg_dump scripts, thereby forcing us to support it
until the end of time.
We could write a [awk | perl | scripting language of your choice]-script
to transform CREATE INDEX statements in normal pg_dump output to use
the concurrent psql commands. That way we don't need to modify pg_dump.
Whether or not to build indexes should be a restore-time, not dump-time
option anyway. Whether you want it or not it depends on the target, not
the source.
