Here you go:
commit: 921059bd66c7fb1230c705d3b1a65940800c4cbb

Don't allow VACUUM VERBOSE ANALYZE VERBOSE.

There are plans to extend the syntax for ANALYZE, so we need to break
the link between VacuumStmt and AnalyzeStmt. But apart from that, the
syntax above is undocumented and, if discovered by users, might give
the impression that the VERBOSE option for VACUUM differs from the
verbose option from ANALYZE, which it does not.

You could just use this query for the same result:
vacuum (analyze, verbose);
