+1. I was reading this yesterday wondering why "REWRITE" didn't get a
mention.  The problem I have with REPACK is that "re" indicates that
something is being re-done that's been done before. If you're calling
REPACK for the first time on a table, that's not true.

David J's "REBUILD" also seems ok.  In a green field, you could then
have "REBUILD TABLE ..." and "REBUILD INDEX ..."
