Yes, please do that.  I didn't go through this for PG 13 since you were
already working in this area.

Yes, this was fixed in PG 13 with this commit:

	commit b07642dbcd
	Author: David Rowley <drowley@postgresql.org>
	Date:   Sat Mar 28 19:20:12 2020 +1300

I have no idea.  I don't think I added this one since there is no URL,
or it is very old.

PG 13.
