But wouldn't it be good that VACUUM FULL uses that index defined by
Cluster, if it exists ? Maybe an additional option for VACUUM FULL ?
Because if I periodically reorganize all tables I have to run CLUSTER once,
which will run on clustered tables, and VACUUM FULL on every table that is
not clustered, because if I run VACUUM FULL for entire database it'll just
ignore cluster index defined for every table. So, INDISCLUSTERED is used
when running CLUSTER but is ignored when running VACUUM FULL.
