Thanks Tom!
True it is that is perfectly valid English. However, that interpretation might not result trivial to us non-native English speakers.
Would be great if at some point it could be changed to make it clearer.
BTW, it also appears in the definition of the pg_stats_ext_exprs system view.

I think it's perfectly good English as-is, if a bit terse.
