Nice catch.
The typo is in wait_event_names.txt, so it actually affects the docs. See the attached doc screenshot.
```
BufferCleanup Waiting to acquire **an exclusive** pin on a buffer. Buffer pin waits can be
BufferExclusive Waiting to acquire **a exclusive** lock on a buffer.
```
The row right above it uses “an exclusive”, while the next row uses “a exclusive”.
This seems to be an oversight from 6c5c393b7, so I think it should be back-patched to 19.
