Yeah, my idea was to add an API (in addition to what is already in place).

Right.

We are already displaying the wait event "ReplSlotsyncPrimaryCatchup" in pg_stat_activity
so that might already be enough?

My main idea was to be able to manually create/sync logical_slot2 in the test case described in [1]
without waiting for activity on logical_slot1.

But another (better?) option might be to change our current algorithm during slot creation on the
standby? (to avoid an "active" slot having to wait on a "inactive" one, like described in [1]).

I am fine if the wait is already displayed in some form.

Yeah, I guess it would be better to tweak the algorithm in this case
such that the slots can't be created immediately but can be noted in a
separate list and we can continue with other remaining slots. Once, we
are finished with all the slots, this special list can be traversed
and then we can attempt to create all the remaining slots. OTOH, the
scenario you described doesn't sound to be a frequent case to be
worried for it but if we can deal with it without adding much
complexity then it would be good.

+    Row pattern common syntax can be used to perform row pattern recognition
+    in a query. The row pattern common syntax includes two sub
+    clauses: <literal>DEFINE</literal>
+    and <literal>PATTERN</literal>. <literal>DEFINE</literal> defines
+    definition variables along with an expression. The expression must be a
+    logical expression, which means it must
+    return <literal>TRUE</literal>, <literal>FALSE</literal>
+    or <literal>NULL</literal>. The expression may comprise column references
+    and functions. Window functions, aggregate functions and subqueries are
+    not allowed. An example of <literal>DEFINE</literal> is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+DEFINE
+ LOWPRICE AS price &lt;= 100,
+ UP AS price &gt; PREV(price),
+ DOWN AS price &lt; PREV(price)
+</programlisting>
+
+    Note that <function>PREV</function> returns the price column in the
+    previous row if it's called in a context of row pattern recognition. Thus in
+    the second line the definition variable "UP" is <literal>TRUE</literal>
+    when the price column in the current row is greater than the price column
+    in the previous row. Likewise, "DOWN" is <literal>TRUE</literal> when when
+    the price column in the current row is lower than the price column in the
+    previous row.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    Once <literal>DEFINE</literal> exists, <literal>PATTERN</literal> can be
+    used. <literal>PATTERN</literal> defines a sequence of rows that satisfies
+    certain conditions.  For example following <literal>PATTERN</literal>
+    defines that a row starts with the condition "LOWPRICE", then one or more
+    rows satisfy "UP" and finally one or more rows satisfy "DOWN". Note that
+    "+" means one or more matches. Also you can use "*", which means zero or
+    more matches. If a sequence of rows which satisfies the PATTERN is found,
+    in the starting row of the sequence of rows all window functions and
+    aggregates are shown in the target list. Note that aggregations only look
+    into the matched rows, rather than whole frame. On the second or
+    subsequent rows all window functions are NULL. Aggregates are NULL or 0
+    (count case) depending on its aggregation definition. For rows that do not
+    match on the PATTERN, all window functions and aggregates are shown AS
+    NULL too, except count showing 0. This is because the rows do not match,
+    thus they are in an empty frame. Example of a <literal>SELECT</literal>
+    using the <literal>DEFINE</literal> and <literal>PATTERN</literal> clause
+    is as follows.
+
+<programlisting>
+SELECT company, tdate, price,
