I'd say if we're not going to bother removing the unused param that
there's not much point in renaming the function. The proposed name
might make sense if the function was:

static inline TupleTableSlot *
CopyMultiInsertBufferNextFreeSlot(CopyMultiInsertBuffer *buffer, Relation rel)

then that might be worth a commit, but giving it that name without
changing the signature to that does not seem like an improvement to
me.

I'm personally about +0.1 for making the above change, which is well
below my threshold for shouting and screaming.
