I though about that for a minute, but didn't think pg_stop_backup is a 
common enough operation that anyone will complain that it's a little 
more verbose in its logging now.  I know when I was new to this, I used 
to wonder just what it was busy doing just after executing this command 
when it hung there for a while sometimes, and would have welcomed this 
extra bit of detail--preferably immediately, not even after a 5 or 10 
second delay.
