FWIW, the current behavior to reindex special_idx in this case feels
more natural to me, as the user requests a REINDEX at table-level, not
at index-level. This would mean to me that all the indexes of all the
partitions should be rebuilt on, not just the partitioned indexes that
are defined in the partitioned table requested for rebuild.
