Meh.  Options-at-the-end seems by far the most sensible style to me.
The options-right-after-the-keyword style is a mess, both logically
and from a parsing standpoint, and the only reason we have it at all
is historical artifact (ask Bruce about the origins of VACUUM ANALYZE
over a beer sometime).

Still, I can't help noticing that I'm being outvoted.  I'll shut up now.
