Well, mainly it's exactly the reason that psql wants to know the
difference: one can be executed inside a transaction block, and the
other one can't.  To my mind that's a sufficiently big difference
that it deserves a different command name.  We messed this up with
CLUSTER but that's not a precedent I want to follow.
