???

Why?

"The FULL option is not recommended for routine use, but might be useful
in special cases. An example is when you have deleted or updated most
of the rows in a table and would like the table to physically shrink to
occupy less disk space and allow faster table scans"

This is for 9.0. 

For 8.4 I think the indexes on the table could grow; but seq scan on the 
table will be faster than with a plain vacuum...
