Thanks for updating the patch.

+test_sub=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub1
+test_sub-# CONNECTION 'host=localhost dbname=test_pub'
+test_sub-# PUBLICATION pub1
+test_sub-# WITH (slot_name=NONE, enabled=false, create_slot=false);
+WARNING:  subscription was created, but is not connected
+HINT:  To initiate replication, you must manually create the replication slot, enable the subscription, and refresh
thesubscription.
 
+CREATE SUBSCRIPTION

In example 3, there is actually no such warning message when creating
subscription because "connect=false" is not specified.

I have tested the examples in the patch and didn't see any problem other than
the one above.
