Good catches! Just a few comments:

These are version-specific queries, so should be passed in their
entirety to COMPLETE_WITH_VERSIONED_QUERY() so that psql can pick the
right version, and avoid sending the query at all if the server is too
old.

I think this would read better without the TO, both in the comment and
the constant name, similar to the below only having GRANT without TO:
