Yes, that would make clear what the patch is trying to do. For version() we
get:

Configure:
 PostgreSQL 16devel on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Debian
6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516, 64-bit

Meson:
 PostgreSQL 16devel on x86_64, compiled by gcc-6.3.0

Patched:
 PostgreSQL 16devel on x86_64-linux, compiled by gcc-6.3.0
