Re: max_wal_size

Now we have the glossary. According to the glossary, a checkpoint has two meanings.

The first meaning is that this is a point:
"A point in the WAL sequence at which it is guaranteed that the heap and index data files have been updated with all information from shared memory modified before that checkpoint; a checkpoint record is written and flushed to WAL to mark that point."

The second meaning is that this is an action (performed by checkpointer process or CP):
"A checkpoint is also the act of carrying out all the actions that are necessary to reach a checkpoint as defined above."

As I understand now, this is true when we talk about the checkpoint as a process.
"Maximum size to let the WAL grow to between a(b) and b(e), between b(b) and c(e), etc".

But this not true when we talk about the checkpoint as a point.
"Maximum size to let the WAL grow to between A and B".

My concerns that someone reading the description of the parameter may confuse the two meanings of checkpoint: as a point and as a process. After all, this happened to me.
