Yes, this is true, but I think the convenience factor is a bit understated with that example. For example, if you need to manually cleanup several tables for XID purposes, VACUUM FREEZE VERBOSE table1; VACUUM FREEZE VERBOSE table2; VACUUM FREEZE VERBOSE table3; VACUUM FREEZE VERBOSE table4; VACUUM FREEZE VERBOSE table5; becomes VACUUM FREEZE VERBOSE table1, table2, table3, table4, table5; I would consider even this to be a relatively modest example compared to the sorts of things users might do. In addition, I'd argue that this feels like a natural extension of the VACUUM command, one that I, like others much earlier in this thread, was surprised to learn wasn't supported.
