I just noticed that this revert (commit 6377e12a) seems to have
introduced two comment blocks atop TableAmRoutine's
scan_analyze_next_block, and I can't find a clear reason why these are
two separate comment blocks.
Furthermore, both comment blocks seemingly talk about different
implementations of a block-based analyze functionality, and I don't
have the time to analyze which of these comments is authorative and
which are misplaced or obsolete.


Kind regards,
