Expanding Section 7.2.5 to be more consistent in level-of-detail with the
rest of that page (syntax and examples in particular) seems like an easy
sell.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/queries-table-expressions.html#QUERIES-WINDOW

I'm not convinced that modifying the SELECT page to make all of the
relevant [, ...] items [, blah-blah-blah ] instead is going to be a net
improvement.
