+1

IMO a short mention at insert.sgml also wouldn't hurt, e.g.

If the INSERT has an ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE clause, a column name or *
may be qualified using EXCLUDED to return the values that would have
been inserted. These values include any DEFAULT expressions or computed
expressions from the INSERT clause. If there is no conflict, then all
EXCLUDED values will be NULL.
