Subject: Prepare transaction doesn't mention NOTIFY

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/sql-prepare-transaction.html
Description:

Hi, in prepare transaction documentation in PG10 and earlier, it says that
you can&#39;t prepare a transaction with LISTEN or UNLISTEN but it doesn&#39;t
mention NOTIFY.

The NOTIFY documentation *does* mention that it won&#39;t work with PREPARE, so
it&#39;s just that the explicit mention of LISTEN and not NOTIFY is confusing.

I know this isn&#39;t the place to ask (and I&#39;ll never see the answer :) but I&#39;m
baffled by the lack of support for NOTIFY in prepared transactions, and it&#39;s
causing me loads of grief, looks like I&#39;m going to have to use a poll based
solution over a large number of databases, which is really unfortunate in
terms of resource utilisation.
