E.1.3.1.5. Privileges
Add per-table GRANT permission MAINTAIN to control maintenance
operations (Nathan Bossart)

The operations are VACUUM, ANALYZE, REINDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZE VIEW,
CLUSTER, and LOCK TABLE.

Add user-grantable role pg_maintain to control maintenance operations
(Nathan Bossart)

The operations are VACUUM, ANALYZE, REINDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZE VIEW,
CLUSTER, and LOCK TABLE.

Allow roles with pg_monitor privileges to execute pg_current_logfile()
(Pavlo Golub, Nathan Bossart)
---------------
should be "REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW"?

also
"Allow roles with pg_monitor privileges to execute
pg_current_logfile() (Pavlo Golub, Nathan Bossart)"
"pg_monitor" is a predefined role, so technically, "with pg_monitor
privileges" is not correct?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add function XMLText() to convert text to a single XML text node (Jim Jones)

XMLText()
should be
xmltext()
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add function to_regtypemod() to return the typemod of a string (David
Wheeler, Erik Wienhold)
I think this description does not mean the same thing as the doc[1]

[1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/functions-info.html#FUNCTIONS-INFO-CATALOG
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allow GROUP BY columns to be internally ordered to match ORDER BY
(Andrei Lepikhov, Teodor Sigaev)
This can be disabled using server variable enable_group_by_reordering.

Probably
`This can be disabled by setting the server variable
enable_group_by_reordering to false`.
