As long as I don't forget...

+VACUUM vactst (i);
Looking at the tests of v5, I think that you should as well add a test
that lists multiple relations with one or more relations listing a
column list for a VACUUM query, without ANALYZE specified in the
options as the parsings of VacuumStmt and AnalyzeStmt are two
different code paths, giving something like that:
VACUUM (FREEZE) rel1, rel2(col1,col2); --error

Commits

  1. Allow multiple tables to be specified in one VACUUM or ANALYZE command.

  2. Give a better error for duplicate entries in VACUUM/ANALYZE column list.

  3. Reject ANALYZE commands during VACUUM FULL or another ANALYZE.
