Simply because I've never tested REINDEX INDEX/DATABASE case
under postmaster and I'm afraid of the following.
1) I didn't make any device to not look up the reindexing
   index itself in case of REINDEX INDEX.
2) REINDEX DATABASE generates multiple transactions internally.
   There's no such command other than VACUUM.
