Hi João,

Thanks for sending a comment! For now let's focusing on the doc patch.

Hmm, I felt that the wording is correct. IIUC a shared library pgoutput.so must
be installed on the dynamically loadable library. I locally removed the .so then
tried to create a slot, got the below error.

```
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_create_logical_replication_slot('test', 'pgoutput');
ERROR: could not access file "pgoutput": No such file or directory
```

Can you clarify bit more if you mention the different point? Or can you share me
what you tested?

Best regards,
