Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It should be possible to do:

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by locating PostgreSQLIndex and the existing index-generation tests, then trace how conditional and field-based indexes are handled; done means PostgreSQLIndex(unique=True, ...) supports unique indexes, including conditional field sets, with regression tests.
