None of the "pride of ownership" type, but I would like to see something =
more about the limitations of background_psql().  It's the closest thing =
we have to being able to run things in parallel from TAP tests.  There's =
no isolationtester equivalent, and PostgresNode doesn't allow you to =
fork() in tests without hacking PostgresNodes END{} block.  So if we =
don't debug this, we never get any further towards parallel testing from =
perl.  Or do you have a different way forward for that?
