Re: [PATCH] Doc: Mention OFF as an alias for EXPLAIN SERIALIZE NONE

Hi Kyotaro,

Thanks a lot for your careful review and clear explanation of the community convention.

Following your lead, I checked guc_tables.c and its corresponding official
documentation for GUC parameters, and noticed that OFF is commonly
documented as a valid enum/configuration option in many existing entries.

So I fully agree with your suggestion to use minimal wording rather than
a separate explanatory paragraph. I will revise the docs to simply write
NONE (or OFF) as you proposed.

The patch has been recompiled, and the updated HTML documentation
and man 7 manual pages have been regenerated and verified.
