Okay, I was more objecting to the text that wasn't clear; it was:
Sets the maximum number of open files each server subprocess is
allowed to open simultaneously, in addition to the files already
open in postmaster. The default is one thousand files.
The "in addition" wasn't clear to me. I could read it as "adding" the
postmaster file descriptors. I changed it now to:
Sets the maximum number of open files each server subprocess is
allowed to open simultaneously; files opened in the postmaster are
not counted toward this limit. The default is one thousand files.
