So basically you want to say that currently the processing for
tables with --analyze-in-stages switch is different when the user
executes vacuumdb for whole database versus when it does for
individual tables (multiple tables together).  In the proposed patch
the processing for tables will be same for either cases (whole
database or independent tables).  I think your point has merit, so
lets proceed with this as it is in your patch.

Do you have anything more to handle in patch or shall I take one
another look and pass it to committer if it is ready for the same.
