I think RETABLE is not a proposal to be taken seriously. That's
extremely confusing.

This feature could be used in a future version to rearrange fields in a table, for better padding.
I don't think we have another one available for this purpose.

CREATE TABLE T(A text, B integer, C bigint, D integer);

We could have something like
RETABLE T USING(B, D, C, A)

So REPACK isn't the best for this, if this feature would exist some day.
