The patch looks better, thanks to your refactoring.
I propose additional comments and tests to make the code more 
understandable (see attachment).
I intended to look into this part of the code more, but the tests show a 
difference between PostgreSQL v.15 and v.16, which causes changes in the 
code of this feature.
