* The new link seems dead. Looks like it should be
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/brin.html#BRIN-INTRO

-    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/brin-intro.html
+    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/brin-intro.html

* Looks like this will cause issues as "current" moves forward in
versions and we add new sections before this:

-    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/functions-aggregate.html#id-1.5.8.27.5.2.4.1.1.1.1
+    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-aggregate.html#id-1.5.8.27.6.2.4.1.1.1.1

If I adjust /current/ to /17/ it works, but not before then. Is there
anything more future proof we can do there?

Likewise with:

-    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/functions-info.html#id-1.5.8.32.3.4.2.2.24.1.1.1
+    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-info.html#id-1.5.8.33.3.4.2.2.26.1.1.1

Also:

-    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/18/functions-string.html#id-1.5.8.10.7.2.2.8.1.1.1
+    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-string.html#id-1.5.8.10.7.2.2.8.1.1.1

Going back to /14/ that links to left() instead of casefold().

* The following no longer links to where it intended to:

-    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/collation.html#id-1.6.10.4.5.7.5
+    url: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/collation.html#id-1.6.10.4.5.7.5

i.e basically someone made the same mistake as the above ones were
about to make.
