Yeah, nice catch. v7 just shared up-thread replace "-" by "_"
for such a case. But I'm not sure the pg_wait_event description field needs
to be 100% aligned with the documentation: wouldn't be better to replace
"-" by " " in such cases in pg_wait_event?

Nice catch, fixed in v7.

This is coming from wait_event_names.txt, thanks for pointing out.
I just submitted a patch [1] to fix that.

Not intended, fixed in v7.

Do you mean remove the wait event name from the description in case of custom
extension wait events? I'd prefer to keep it, if not the descriptions would be
all the same for custom wait events.

Yeah, could make sense but I think that should be a dedicated patch for the documentation.
