To clarify what the command is actually doing.

The ALL seems to have value. "MOVE ALL OWNED TO" sounds better.

On those two, I think the docs need to be clearer that we mean that
TABLES means tables, and yes we leave the indexes behind. Or that
INDEXES means "and we leave the tables behind. This is intended to
more easily separate tables and indexes into their own tablespaces."
or similar.

I'm not clamouring for squeezing additional goodies from you, just to
make a small change to avoid later confusion (for ALL users ;-) )

Good feature, thanks for working on it.
