Ok, I will add it too.

Yes this is what I've though, something a la EXPLAIN, for example : 
"VACUUM (ANALYZE, SCHEMA foo)" but this is a change in the VACUUM syntax 
that needs to keep the compatibility with the current syntax. We will 
have two syntax something like "VACUUM ANALYZE FULL dbname" and "VACUUM 
(ANALYZE, FULL) dbname". The other syntax "problem" is to be able to use 
multiple schema values in the VACUUM command, perhaps "VACUUM (ANALYZE, 
SCHEMA (foo,bar))".
