Hi,

I think section 5.6 of v9.5.0 and 9.6devel can benefit from changing some
occurrences of the word 'user' to 'role. Specifically, in

"For example, if joe is an existing user"

and

"The special "user" name PUBLIC can be used to grant a privilege to every
user on the system.",

it is ambiguous whether "user" refers to any role, or a role with a LOGIN
privilege, especially when you consider that CREATE USER is shorthand
creating a role with LOGIN privileges.

Bests,
Johannes Choo

Done.  These were the only two cases that were inconsistent, I think.
