Consistency with what? Are you thinking of the messages in
aclck.c:no_priv_msg? I don't think that's really comparable. A
permission denied on a relation is much easier to understand than
replication permissions and such.

It'd surely not be better if pg_basebackup would a error message bar
actually helpful information. Btw, the replication permission use in
postinit.c isn't related to slots.

Meh.
