IIUC, the value of min_safe_lsn will lesser than restart_lsn, so one
can compute the difference of those to see how much ahead the
replication slot's restart_lsn is from min_safe_lsn but still it is
not clear how user will make any use of it. Can you please explain
how the distance you are talking about is useful to users or anyone?
