In my understanding, "instance" and "cluster" should be different 
things, not only synonyms. "instance" can be the term for permanently 
fluctuating objects (processes and RAM) and "cluster" can denote the 
more static objects (directories and files). What do you think? If you 
agree, I would create a patch.

+1., but see the (huge) different spellings in patch.

bloat: changed 'current row' to 'relevant row' because not only the 
youngest one is relevant (non-bloat).

data type casts: Are you sure that they are global? In pg_cast 
'relisshared' is 'false'.
