um, can we have these as separate GUCs and not lumped together as a string?
i.e.:
autovacuum_frequency = 60 #seconds, 0 = disable
autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 200
autovacuum_vacuum_multiple = 0.5
autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 100
autovacuum_analyze_multiple = 0.4
AV should be disabled by default. It should also automatically use the global
vacuum_delay settings.

Speaking of FSM improvements, it would be **really** useful to have a pg_stats
view that let you know how full the FSM was, overall. something like:
pg_stats_fsm_usage
fsm_relations fsm_relations_used fsm_pages fsm_pages_used
1000 312 200000 11579
This would allow for other schemes of vacuum automation.
