Thanks!

@@ -1634,9 +1677,14 @@ SyncReplicationSlots(WalReceiverConn *wrconn)

Given the fact that if the sync worker is running it won't be possible to trigger
a manual sync with pg_sync_replication_slots(), what about also checking the 
"sync_replication_slots" value at the start of SyncReplicationSlots() and
emmit an error if sync_replication_slots is set to on? (The message could explicitly
states that it's not possible to use the function if sync_replication_slots is
set to on).
