An issue I have with this wording is that we give nowhere in the docs
an explanation of about the term "in-place tablespace", even if it can
be guessed from the name of the GUC.

Another idea would be something like that:
"A relative path to the data directory is returned for tablespaces
created with an empty location string specified in the CREATE
TABLESPACE query when allow_in_place_tablespaces is enabled (see link
blah)."

But perhaps that's just me being overly pedantic :p
