I don't like this -- it seems like bloat. What's the advantage of

CLUSTER foo ON bar ANALYZE;

over

CLUSTER foo ON bar;
ANALYZE;

Hmmm... I don't really see the problem with adding a note in the docs
suggesting that users following a CLUSTER with an ANALYZE (of course,
that assumes that the CLUSTER will significantly change the ordering
of the data in the table, which isn't always the case -- which is
another reason why make this automatic seems unwarranted, IMHO). It
seems like you're looking for a solution to a non-existent problem.

Cheers,
