I agree that it would be good to make those consistently use timestamp
with time zone for all columns of that type in the docs for
pg_stat_all_tables.
More generally, it might be good if we did it for the entire docs:
doc $ git grep "<type>timestamptz</type>" | wc -l
17
doc $ git grep "<type>timestamp with time zone</type>" | wc -l
74
Clearly "timestamp with time zone" is much more commonly used.
The bar is probably set a bit higher for changing the
longer-established ones, however.
