I think noting autovac vacuums/analyzes seperately is 'nice-to-have' but
not all that important. It'd probably be pretty easy to tell the
difference just knowing what (if any) manual vacuums your system runs.
While we're looking at logging, are you going to add stats stuff for the
bgwriter as well, or should we add this to the TODO?
