Description

Allow introspecting the type of index (e.g. btree, rtee). This is already ​implemented for postgres but is something that can be implemented for and leveraged by all backends.

This would be useful for writing tests while implementing new index type using the class based indexes. Also a requirement for it ​was felt while adding indexes to inspectdb (​related discussion on mailing list).
