I looked into this again, and I didn't like what I had added to
maintenance.sgml at all.  It seems out of place where I put it; and I
couldn't find any great spots.  Going back to your original proposal,
what about something like this?  It's just one more para in the "notes"
section in CREATE INDEX and REINDEX pages, without any additions to the
VACUUM pages.
