Why in the world is reindex_relation defined like this?

#define REINDEX_CHECK_CONSTRAINTS    0x1
#define REINDEX_SUPPRESS_INDEX_USE    0x2
extern bool reindex_relation(Oid relid, bool toast_too, int flags);

Seems like a rational design would have folded toast_too in as another
flag bit, instead of keeping it a separate argument.
