We should backpatch the docs for 8.2 also. I know we don't usually do
that but it would save some time for people.

Or at least allow comments to be added to previous doc versions.

8.3 docs have the wording

"A working example of a waiting restore_command is provided as a contrib
module named pg_standby. It should be used as a reference on how to
correctly implement the logic described above. It can also be extended
as needed to support specific configurations or environments."
