Thanks for updating the patch!

Since the docs already state that buffer usage is automatically included
when ANALYZE is used, the focus here seems to be clarifying the behavior
of BUFFERS without ANALYZE. From that perspective, it might be better to
explicitly describe what happens when BUFFERS is TRUE without ANALYZE.

I've updated the patch accordingly. Patch attached. Thought?
