These are good points. I went ahead and adjusted the patch back to using
"apply" for [leader] apply workers and to using "synchronization" for
synchronization workers. I also adjusted a couple of the error messages
that Michael pointed out to say "synchronization worker" instead of "table
synchronization worker" or "tablesync worker".
This still leaves the possibility for confusion with the documentation's
use of "leader apply worker", but I haven't touched that for now.
