I happened to quickly review these patches. TBH, "transaction ID
space" and "MultiXactId space" seem a bit confusing because of the
word "space" - it reads fine without it. Is there a specific reason
for this wording?
Also, why not use "multixact IDs" instead of "MultiXactId"? The latter
reads like an internal structure name or such that might confuse users
reading the docs or error messages.
How about something like the following?
+ errdetail("Approximately %.2f%% of multixact IDs remain before wraparound.",
+ errdetail("Approximately %.2f%% of transaction IDs remain before wraparound.",
