More options should probably be tested, currently we have only very basic
regression test for pg_repackdb. TBD

ok, added this in v26 (to be posted today):

 <refsect1>
  <title>See Also</title>

  <simplelist type="inline">
   <member><xref linkend="app-pgrepackdb"/></member>
   <member><xref linkend="repack-progress-reporting"/></member>
  </simplelist>
 </refsect1>

(Not added reference to VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER intentionally: whoever uses
REPACK should not need them.

ok, added in v26.

I agree, added that in v26 (Hopefully I haven't broken anything, the syntax is
