Yeah, having extra logic at application layer to check if a certain
LSN position has been applied or not is doable, but if we can avoid it
that's a clear plus.
This patch has no documentation. I will try to figure out by myself
how the new parameters interact with the rest of the syncrep code
while looking at it but if we want to move on to get something
committable for 9.6 it would be good to get some documentation soon.
