catalogs.sgml documentation ambiguity

Some catalog tables have references to pg_attribute.attnum.

In the documentation, it only says "(references pg_attribute.attnum)"
but not which oid column to include in the two-column "foreign key".

This would not be a problem if there would only be one reference to pg_class.oid,
but some catalog tables have multiple columns that references pg_class.oid.

For instance, pg_constraint has two columns (conkey, confkey) referencing pg_attribute,
and three columns (conrelid, conindid, confrelid) referencing pg_class.

A user might wonder:
- Which one of these three columns should be used in combination with the conkey/confkey elements to join pg_attribute?

If we would have array foreign key support, I would guess the "foreign keys" should be:

FOREIGN KEY (confrelid, EACH ELEMENT OF confkey) REFERENCES pg_catalog.pg_attribute (attrelid, attnum)
FOREIGN KEY (conrelid, EACH ELEMENT OF conkey) REFERENCES pg_catalog.pg_attribute (attrelid, attnum)

It's of course harder to guess for a machine though, which would need a separate human-produced lookup-table.

Could it be meaningful to clarify these multi-key relations in the documentation?

As a bonus, machines could then parse the information out of catalogs.sgml.

Here is a list of catalogs referencing pg_attribute and with multiple pg_class references:

table_name | array_agg
----------------------+---------------------------------------
pg_constraint | {confrelid,conindid,conrelid}
pg_index | {indexrelid,indrelid}
pg_partitioned_table | {partdefid,partrelid}
pg_trigger | {tgconstrindid,tgconstrrelid,tgrelid}
