never documented anywhere, sigh).  Centralize the detailed documentation
of system views into catalogs.sgml, and provide cross-references.

vague cross-references with real links.

- more work from the SGML police

- some grammar improvements: rewriting a paragraph or two, replacing
contractions where (IMHO) appropriate

- fix missing utility commands in lock mode docs

- improve CLUSTER, REINDEX, SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION ref pages

Ok, fair enough. I've attached a revised version of the patch -- let me
know you think it needs further improvements.

This patch is an updated version of the lock listing patch. I've made
the following changes:

    - write documentation
    - wrap the SRF in a view called 'pg_locks': all user-level
      access should be done through this view
    - re-diff against latest CVS

One thing I chose not to do is adapt the SRF to use the anonymous
composite type code from Joe Conway. I'll probably do that eventually,
but I'm not really convinced it's a significantly cleaner way to
bootstrap SRF builtins than the method this patch uses (of course, it
has other uses...)

Still needs to be filled with more information, but it gives us a
framework to have a User's Guide with complete coverage of the basic
SQL operations.  Move arrays into data type chapter, inheritance into
DDL chapter (for now).

Make <comment>s show up in the output while the version number ends in
"devel".

Allow cross-book references with entities &cite-user; etc.

Fix up references to "PostgreSQL" rather than "Postgres". Was roughly
 evenly split between the two before. ref/ files not yet done.

 adjustments. Note that many tables are being abused with *really* long
 description columns. Should probably shrink those columns to be more
 concise, and move some of the info to follow-on reference notes.

Include first cut at instructions for man pages in docguide.sgml.
Fix markup.
