I mean, it's PRETTY confusing that VACUUM FULL does something much
more similar to CLUSTER than it is to VACUUM. We can't ever get out
from under that confusion if we don't change something. I think it's
more than fair to bikeshed what the verb should be that describes the
action we currently describe by writing either VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER,
but I agree with Álvaro that having one verb for both of those things
makes a lot more sense than the status quo.
