AFAIK we generally only use pg_whatever() when there's a good reason,

temporary: we couldn't implement standard pread/pwrite perfectly on
ancient HP-UX, but we*can* implement it on Windows, so the reason is
gone.
These particular pg_ prefixes have only been in our tree for a few
years and I was hoping to boot them out again before they stick, like
"Size". I like using standard interfaces where possible for the very
basic stuff, to de-weird our stuff.
I agree. That's been the established approach.
