One small thing I thought of after the meeting was that this effectively
forces users to always specify an index if they want to REPACK WITH INDEX.
Today, CLUSTER will use the same index as before if one is not specified.
IMHO requiring users to specify the index is entirely reasonable, but I
figured I'd at least note the behavior change.
