I just got tripped up by vacuum/explain analyze and analyse. Everwhere in the
docs we refer to it as analyze, but both work and analyse is a reserved word.
Was thinking maybe the analyze page should be updated if we don't have any
intention to move toward one or the other.  Incidentally, while my opinion
may be a little coloured ;-) I do think the Z spelling is more correct, since
afaik everyone says it with z phonetics.
