The real problem I think is that we've confused the notion of setting a
policy for CLUSTER (ie, marking the preferred thing to cluster on) with
the notion of actually doing a CLUSTER. Perhaps we need an ALTER
command that says "this is what to cluster on" without actually doing
it.

Yeah, pg_dump should be dumping that too, probably.
