Comment:

 [attachment:31869.diff] adds a second check for columns that have an index
 length in the DB, but not in the `CREATE TABLE` statement. It throws a
 `_doing_it_wrong()` warning for any that it finds, but doesn't try to add
 the existing index.

 @DrewAPicture - ping for a new string added in this patch. This patch (or
 something like it) needs to happen in 4.2, but I'll leave it to your
 discretion as to how/if we handle a new string after string freeze.
