The patch you've proposed doesn't apply to the master branch for me,
but I guess what I'm more concerned about is that I don't think the
next fits very well in the spot you've proposed to put it. The docs
already contain this paragraph:
<para>
If any of the columns of a table are <acronym>TOAST</>-able, the table will
have an associated <acronym>TOAST</> table, whose OID is stored in the table's
<structname>pg_class</>.<structfield>reltoastrelid</> entry. Out-of-line
<acronym>TOAST</>ed values are kept in the <acronym>TOAST</> table, as
described in more detail below.
</para>
So if we need this, it seems like it ought to go right next to that,
rather than farther down. But in fact, that paragraph pretty much
already contains the information you're proposing to add, just phrased
slightly differently. So I'm not sure any change is warranted.
