I assume it must read C function instead.

SQL/PSM is a proposed standard.
We had that before: remove proposed.
drop_index.sgml:

<REFNAME>: Removes existing indexes from a database
as far as I can see index should be singular. The command description is
written as if only one index can be removed at a time. Interestingly
enough, in v7.0.2 it was in fact singular. Am I mistaken here?
drop_operator.sgml:

In Outputs the arguments are referred to as type and type2, but the synopsis
and Inputs section these are left_type and right_type, respectively. Also,
oper is used in Outputs versus id in Inputs/Synopsis. In the translation I
follow the replaceables used in the Inputs/Synopsis part.

Rewrite of planner statistics-gathering code. ANALYZE is now available as
a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too).
pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are
stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values,
not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random
sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large
tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now
user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command.
There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere
they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project
should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before.
A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison
routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.
