It contains modified versions of a few macros from Autoconf's
general.m4¹, specifically _AC_UNDECLARED_WARNING (since renamed to
_AC_UNDECLARED_BUILTIN upstream) and _AC_CHECK_DECL_BODY.  That has
since been updated² to spell François' name correctly, so I think we
should follow suit (and maybe also check if our override is even still
necessary).

I don't feel particularly strongy about these.

If nothing else, consistency.  There are 13 occurrences of "cacheable"
and only three of "cachable" in the tree.

Yeah, re-reading the sentence that's clearly meant to be "restoring".

Thanks!

We (mostly) use indexes when referring to database indexes (as in btree,
gist, etc.), but indices when referring to offsets in arrays, which is
what this variable is about.
