Either of those names are fine with me, too. The current name is a
somewhat shortened version of the name "operator-based exclusion
constraints", so we can also just use that name. Or, just "exclusion
constraints".

I'll leave the current patch as-is for now, and wait for some reviewer
comments. This is purely a documentation issue, so there are bound to be
a few of these things that I can clarify at once.
