Added to TODO:

o Allow large object vacuuming

> Is there a reason why vacuum won't vacuum large objects? AFAIK they
> are not really different from ordinary relations, and could be vacuumed
> the same way. If you do a lot of lo_writes to a large object, its file
> size grows without bound because of invalidated tuples, so it'd sure
> be nice for LOs to be vacuumable...

> lotest=> vacuum xinv150337;
> NOTICE: Vacuum: can not process index and certain system tables
> VACUUM
