It seems pretty confusing. I mean, in the case of the CLUSTER patch,
you're either going to seq-scan the table or index-scan the table.
Those are (at last check) reported using different phase numbers, but
they are mutually exclusive. Generally, if you are going to do either
foo -> bar -> baz -> quux or foo -> bletch -> quux, how many phases
are there total? 5? 4?
