        Adding a constraint using an existing index can be helpful in
        situations where a new constraint needs to be added without blocking
        table updates for a long time.  To do that, create the index using
-       <command>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY</command>, and then install it as an
-       official constraint using this syntax.  See the example below.
