Ok, will fix that.

Yeah, it makes sense, will change in the next version.

Just a quick question regarding the naming conventions. It looks like
we have a choice between two options for consistency. Should we rename
the pg_lsn_in_internal function by replacing "_internal" with "_safe",
or should we rename all of the *_opt_error functions by replacing
"_opt_error" with "_internal"?

I would choose the latter option.
