For the reference (from the same page):

[quote]
WITH ( storage_parameter [= value] [, ... ] )

This clause specifies optional storage parameters for a table or
index; see Storage Parameters below for more information. For
backward-compatibility the WITH clause for a table can also include
OIDS=FALSE to specify that rows of the new table should not contain
OIDs (object identifiers), OIDS=TRUE is not supported anymore.

[/quote]

So the "WITH " clause is definitely available for indexes.

Thank you.
