"Restore" vs. "Reload"
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Description:
Hello,
As far as I can see, the terms "Reload" and "Restore" are used
interchangeably.
To make the page as easy digestable for the reader as possible, it´s
advisable to stick to exactly one term.

That makes sense, particularly since "reload" typically means something
else in PostgreSQL. I think "restore" is better.
Do you feel like preparing a patch?
Yours,

I have created the attached patch. The only place I left "reload" was
when it was used in pg_dump in "To reload an archive file" and similar
cases. In those cases, restoring a script or file might be
misinterpreted.

Patch applied back to PG 11. PG 10 had too many conflicts.
