Thanks Robert for mentioning this! I indeed did not notice the switch.

Thanks! I'm not sure why that happened since I normally run
fill-region in emacs and when I re-ran it now, it looked as it used
to. I've fixed it up in this patch.

Since the responses were positive, I've taken the liberty to extend
the sample code by simply including all the stub methods and the full
struct. Marking which methods are optional and not.
If that looks like too much, I can revert back. Perhaps only
mentioning the struct like we do for the index AM here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/index-api.html. However, as a
reader, I feel like the full stubs are a bit more useful.
Happy for feedback. Updated patch is attached.
Cheers,
Phil
