Definitely.  I've attached the following changes.

1. Added GUC_check_errdetail() to the check function.

2. Added a comment to the check function (based on my knowledge about
  the feature).

3. Altered the ereport() into Assert() in
   InvalidatePossiblyObsoleteSlot().  I considered removing the
   !SlotIsLogical() condition since pg_upgrade always sets
   max_slot_wal_keep_size to -1, but I left it unchanged.

regards.
