Sorry; I didn't mean to be harsh.  PostgreSQL has excellent
documentation, and we strive to make it better all the time.
Sometimes people coming from some other products aren't used to that

Well, it very much does make a difference, because when someone
makes the effort to find something in our documentation, and in
spite of their best efforts they can't, we tend to consider that a
bug in the documentation.  I'll take a look at the page you
mentioned and see if I can work in a suitable reference.  I'm sure
you can see, though, why the *main* place it was documented was the
statement which is generally used to create a primary key.

Thanks for responding with the info on where you looked.
