I propose that it would be useful to explicitly state that `SELECT FOR KEY

Conflicts with the EXCLUSIVE and ACCESS EXCLUSIVE lock modes.
The SELECT FOR UPDATE, SELECT FOR NO KEY UPDATE, SELECT FOR SHARE, and
SELECT FOR KEY SHARE commands acquire a lock of this mode on the target
table(s) (in addition to ACCESS SHARE locks on any other tables that are
referenced but not selected FOR UPDATE/FOR SHARE).

I agree we need an update here. But the original wording seems a bit
off; I think we should say SELECT is a command, and that the FOR bits
are options thereof. Maybe something like this:
<para>
The <command>SELECT</command> command acquires a lock of this mode
on all tables on which one of the <option>FOR UPDATE</option>,
<option>FOR NO KEY UPDATE</option>,
<option>FOR SHARE</option>, or
<option>FOR KEY SHARE</option> options is specified
(in addition to <literal>ACCESS SHARE</literal> locks on any other
tables that are referenced without any explicit
<option>FOR ...</option> locking option).
</para>
Thoughts?
Grammar check: "one of the a,b,c options IS specified" or "one of the
a,b,c options ARE specified"?
one [...] IS specified
