I plan to change the names of the locks in the MVCC chapter from
AccessShareLock
ShareRowExclusiveLock
etc.
to
access-share lock
share-row-exclusive lock
etc.
unless someone has a better idea.
The current spelling corresponds to the internal identifier names, but not
to any user-level command syntax, so I don't consider it appropriate for
user-level documentation.

I agree that the internal coding should not dictate what the
documentation uses, but I'm not sure that I see the improvement from
ShareRowExclusiveLock
to
share-row-exclusive lock
when the thing the user might actually write is
LOCK foo IN SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE MODE
It'd seem that
SHARE ROW EXCLUSIVE lock
(perhaps font-ifying what I've upcased here) would be the closest thing
to the user-visible syntax.
