* [PATCH v52 2/7] Add conditional lock feature to dshash

Dshash currently waits for lock unconditionally. It is inconvenient
when we want to avoid being blocked by other processes. This commit
adds alternative functions of dshash_find and dshash_find_or_insert
that allows immediate return on lock failure.

I agree with the general need.

It isn't clear to me what is the precise difference between  DEFAULT and 
SESSION

Personally I think having pg_temp in the SYSTEM search path makes sense 
for temp tables, but I find it easy to forget that functions can be 
created by unprivileged users in pg_temp, and therefore having pg_temp 
in the search path for functions is dangerous.
