Apologies for the terseness of my (earlier) reply. This is exactly what
I'm suggesting. What was in the patch was this change:
! ERROR: must be superuser or replication role to use replication slots
---
! ERROR: permission denied to use replication slots
! HINT: You must be superuser or replication role to use replication slots.
On reflection, perhaps it should be an errdetail() message instead of an
errhint() message, but the complaint levied against the change was
making it be 'permission denied to X' and moving the 'must be superuser'
out of the errmsg().
Thanks!
