During some recent reviews, I came across some comments mentioning "toast" ...

It is indeed an acronym, but usages such as "toasting" are all over
our code and docs, as you see. I question whether changing that
to "TOASTing" improves readability. I agree that consistently
saying "TOAST table" not "toast table" is a good idea, but I'm
not quite convinced that removing every last lower-case occurrence
is a win, especially in these combined forms.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
How about I reduce the scope by only tackling the uncontroversial
stuff, and leave all those "combined forms" for another day?
Attached is the reduced patch for changes to the documentation.
