Hi hackers,

While working on [1]/messages/by-id/Z/fFA2heH6lpSLlt@ip-10-97-1-34.eu-west-3.compute.internal, I noticed an inconsistency in the pg_buffercache
documentation: ba2a3c2302f1 missed to add "the" before the pg_buffercache_numa()
function introduction.

PFA a tiny patch to add it for consistency purpose. Should be back-patched to
18 where pg_buffercache_numa() has been introduced.

Regards,

Thanks, that does indeed look like an omission. There seems to be a few more
on the same page however, how about the attached?
