How well is the term "on-line exclusive backup" really settled with
people? I wonder if we need to add a specific note to the docs saying
that the function doesn't consider streaming base backups at all, and
that one should refer to pg_stat_replication for info about those? Or
really, should the function be pg_exclusive_backup_in_progress()
perhaps?
