An Open Item?  Not really, since there's no objective defect.  Nonetheless,
the attached is what I'd like to use.

Commits

  1. Copy-edit text for the pg_terminate_backend() "timeout" parameter.

  2. Remove pg_wait_for_backend_termination().

  3. Add functions to wait for backend termination

  4. Fix typo in comment.
