Thanks Aleksander and Álvaro for your inputs.
I understand this change is not making any improvement to the current
code. I was a bit concerned regarding the design and consistency of
the function that exists for the server in recovery and for the server
that is not in recovery. I was trying to write following snippet
where I am interested only for XLogRecPtr:
recPtr = RecoveryInProgress() ? GetStandbyFlushRecPtr(NULL) :
GetFlushRecPtr(NULL);
But I can't write this since I have to pass an argument for
GetStandbyFlushRecPtr() but that is not compulsory for
GetFlushRecPtr().
I agree to reject proposed changes since that is not useful
immediately and have no rule for the optional argument for the
similar-looking function.

Amul
