Personally considered pgoutput is not the user-facing and extension developers
can dig by themselves, but this is not a huge complaint.
DBA may check their settings via pg_recvlogical, which is a use-case.
I did agree to add new chapter for plugin developers, but it could be done at
different thread.
Since pgoutput can only generate the binary output, it pg_logical_slot_get_changes()
cannot be used with this plugin. I felt this should be also documented.
Another point: test_decoding does not have descriptions for their options neither.
Should we also add as well?
