I decided to take another pass through to try to spot anyplace I
might have missed.  I found that I had missed documenting the new
pg_matviews system view, so I have just pushed that.

I also think that something should be done about the documentation
for indexes.  Right now that always refers to a "table".  It would
clearly be awkward to change that to "table or materialized view"
everywhere.  I wonder if most of thosse should be changed to
"relation" with a few mentions that the relation could be a table
or a materialized view, or whether some less intrusive change would
be better.  Opinions welcome.
