pg_get_object_address and pg_identify_object_as_address are supposed to be inverses, but they disagreed as to the names of the arguments representing the textual form of an object address. Moreover, the documented argument names didn't agree with reality at all, either for these functions or pg_identify_object. In HEAD and v11, I think we can get away with renaming the input arguments of pg_get_object_address to match the outputs of pg_identify_object_as_address. In theory that might break queries using named-argument notation to call pg_get_object_address, but it seems really unlikely that anybody is doing that, or that they'd have much trouble adjusting if they were. In older branches, we'll just live with the lack of consistency. Aside from fixing the documentation of these functions to match reality, I couldn't resist the temptation to do some copy-editing. Per complaint from Jean-Pierre Pelletier. Back-patch to 9.5 where these functions were introduced. (Before v11, this is a documentation change only.)
