Description
It would be good if we could specify multicolumn indexes to be created in the model, sort of like unique_together but for index_together. I am not familiar with a way to do this currently, hence this feature request.

#373 is for multi column primary keys, not indexes.

We still need to check if the indexes are being created. For this we need better database introspection for indexes. For this #16220 will need to be fixed first. Till that moment, this ticket is on hold.

I hope it's not too late to get this into 1.5. This functionality would be extremely nice as a complement to the db_index functionality currently in Django.

The patch was working fine for trunk 10 months ago. Only tests couldn't be written because of the broken django DB introspection (see related ticket).

Dupe of #373, which is pending the queryset rewrite/refactor I believe..
