Hmm.  system-views.sgml has a large paragraph about fast-path locks,
and seems to be the only location in the official docs where the term
is used.  I am wondering if the paragraph in view-pg-locks could be
improved and/or shortened with what you are proposing here, even if
most of it points to the inconsistencies one could get when querying
pg_locks due to the volatile nature of fast-path locks...  At least a
link on the pg_locks page pointing to this new section could be
something to consider.
