v4 is just moving this paragraph in its correct subsection. My
wording may have been confusing here, sorry about that. What I meant
is that there is no need to mention --follow at all, as an
interruption done before reaching the end LSN or the end of WAL would
still print out the stats accumulated up to the interrupted point.
