Thanks for mentioning Laurenz's suggestion!

+ Since indexes have a default fillfactor of 90, this should be around 0.9 for
+ newly built indexes

I think 0.9 should be replaced by 90 (that's the actual kind of output we'd get).

But having said that, I'm not sure we should mention those 90 stuff because it
depends of the amount of data indexed (I mean if the index has a very few
leaf pages, say < 5, then it's easy to be << 90 since it's an average). That's
probably not the majority of indexes though so maybe just nuance the sentence a
bit.
