Well, the object type is not an optional part of the command.  It's

REINDEX { INDEX | TABLE | etc } name [ ( option [, option ...] ) ]

VACUUM puts the options before the table name, so ISTM it'd be best to
keep that with REINDEX. Either REINDEX (options) {INDEX | ...} or
REINDEX {INDEX | ...} (options).

Well, I really really don't like the first of those.  IMO the command name
is "REINDEX INDEX" etc, so sticking something in the middle of that is
bogus.

Actually, is there a reason we can't just accept all 3? Forcing people to remember exact ordering of options has always struck me as silly.
