In my understanding, "instance" and "cluster" should be different
things, not only synonyms. "instance" can be the term for permanently
fluctuating objects (processes and RAM) and "cluster" can denote the
more static objects (directories and files). What do you think? If you
agree, I would create a patch.

+1., but see the (huge) different spellings in patch.

bloat: changed 'current row' to 'relevant row' because not only the
youngest one is relevant (non-bloat).

data type casts: Are you sure that they are global? In pg_cast
'relisshared' is 'false'.
