I agree that the current wording is slightly incorrect, but I think I
prefer we keep it this way. The fact that we actually DO flush when
some internal buffer is filled up seems more like an implementation
detail, than behavior that people should actually be depending upon.
And even knowing the actual behavior, still the only way to know that
your data is flushed is by calling PQflush (since a user has no way of
checking if we automatically flushed the internal buffer).
