I appreciate the follow-up, Dave. 

I hope this lands as-is, but for context here is the old thread I found that suggested that the full document should be audited and disambiguated for signed/unsigned: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20120901160523.GD2969%40momjian.us

Given the additional effort required, I can understand why this was left unresolved for so long.

While talking to Austin he noted that the docs for the number of parameters is actually an unsigned integer. 

This patch corrects that. 

See 

1. Parameter format codes count (line 4323) — read at postgres.c:1725
  2. Parameter values count (line 4348) — read at postgres.c:1734
  3. Result-column format codes count (line 4396) — read at postgres.c:2017
