Hello,

The word "rewinded" appears in our manual and in a comment.  That
sounds strange to my ears.  Isn't it a mistake?  Oxford lists the form
as "poetic" and "rare", and then says it was used by one specific
Victorian poet.  Perhaps I'll send them a pull request: it's now G. M.
Hopkins and PostgreSQL?  Or maybe it's in common usage in another part
of the world?
