This patch looks reasonable to me.

Attached is a top-up patch with a few small fixups.

I suggest to wait for the resolution of the "Replication/backup
defaults" thread.  I would not want to be in a situation where users who
have not been trained to use replication slots now have yet another
restart-only parameter to set before they can take a backup.
