That looks more reasonable. I'd like to quibble with this text:

+. Here is an example of how to register an extension that provides a
+  table access method handler:

I think this should say something more like "Here is how an extension
SQL script might create a table access method handler". I'm not sure
if we have a standard term in our documentation that should be used
instead of "extension SQL script"; perhaps look for similar examples,
or the documentation of extensions themselves, and copy the wording.

Shouldn't "mem_tableam_handler" be "my_tableam_handler"?
