Hello,

The word "rewinded" appears in our manual and in a comment. That
sounds strange to my ears. Isn't it a mistake? Oxford lists the form
as "poetic" and "rare", and then says it was used by one specific
Victorian poet. Perhaps I'll send them a pull request: it's now G. M.
Hopkins and PostgreSQL? Or maybe it's in common usage in another part
of the world?
