Can you please **define** somewhere what it means to `prune indexes`? It does 
not help me much more than the previous "massaging indexes" you had before I 
asked you to change it.

You have also not responded to this yet. It seems to me that before your 
proposed change, `RearrangeNode` had a clear and easy semantic, and now you 
somehow "hack it" to work with your `vector_indexes_needs_pruning`. Can you 
explain please why this makes sense and add a comment to `RearrangeNode` what 
its semantics is?
