In https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/hot-standby.html#hot-standby-users

It is explained that read only transactions (not in standby) allow to
update sequences.

    In normal operation, <quote>read-only</> transactions are allowed to
    update sequences and to use <command>LISTEN</>, <command>UNLISTEN</>, and
    <command>NOTIFY</>, so Hot Standby sessions operate under slightly tighter
    restrictions than ordinary read-only sessions.  It is possible that some
    of these restrictions might be loosened in a future release.

This is plain wrong.

BEGIN;
BEGIN
test=# SET transaction_read_only TO on;
SET
test=# SELECT nextval('t1_i_seq');
ERROR:  cannot execute nextval() in a read-only transaction
test=# \q

Attached is the patch against master branch.

Best regards,
