hi.
I hope I understand the problem correctly.
my understanding is that we are trying to solve a corner case:
create table t(a int4range, b int4range, primary key(a, b WITHOUT OVERLAPS));
insert into t values ('[1,2]','empty'), ('[1,2]','empty');


I think the entry point is ATAddCheckNNConstraint and index_create.
in a chain of DDL commands, you cannot be sure which one
(primary key constraint or check constraint) is being created first,
you just want to make sure that after both constraints are created,
then add a dependency between primary key and check constraint.

so you need to validate at different functions
(ATAddCheckNNConstraint, index_create)
that these two constraints are indeed created,
only after that we have a dependency linking these two constraints.


I've attached a patch trying to solve this problem.
the patch is not totally polished, but works as expected, and also has
lots of comments.
