Hi.

I happened to notice that the "DROP PUBLICATION IF EXISTS" parameter
is documented [1]
------
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the publication does not exist. A notice is
issued in this case.
------

But, the equivalent "DROP SUBSCRIPTION IF EXISTS" parameter
description is missing [2].

~~~

PSA a patch to add similar documentation for DROP SUBSCRIPTION IF EXISTS.
