Pushed.  I didn't modify this part; I spent too much time looking at it
trying to figure out how to do it.  I think this bit really belongs in
the CREATE/ALTER docs rather than this chapter.  But in order to support
having a separate <para> for the restriction on combination, we need a
separate <varlistentry> for the column_name parameter. So I'm going to
edit that one and I'll throw this change in.

Thanks, Peter, for the discussion.
