That's the bit I'm particularly interested in, as my plan would be to keep
the pages well clustered: http://dba.stackexchange.com/a/66293/1396

Do you see any blocker preventing BRIN being used for a continuous
background re-clustering job (in parallel with or as part of vacuum),
similar to the mechanism I experimented with before? If not is this
something there might be support for adding to the TODO list?

Kindest regards
Jack
