What I mean here is that I think it would be in our best interests to
define the syntax for any new operation to be as easily guessed as
possible.  I believe that ALTER INDEX would be more easily guessed by
more people as the means by which one would alter an index's tablespace
than ALTER TABLE, even if those people have a decent amount of PG
experience.
