There's one argument for supporting more for VACUUM than the rest - it
can't be executed directly as the result of a query as the others
can... I wonder if that'd not better be answered by adding a feature to
vacuumdb that allows selecting the to-be-vacuumed table by a user
defined query.
I would MUCH rather that we find a way to special-case executing
non-transactional commands dynamically, because VACUUM isn't the only one that
suffers from this problem.
